I'll add to the list. The women's game against the U.S. Olympic team in 1996. The Amy Grant concert in 1989. Standing room only for both.
Not Francis Thompson now. Francis Thompson in 1987.
As was stated, it came close to happening.
Most within our alumni base would have loved to have seen a national search. The same goes for the faculty and staff.
It just wasn't going to happen.
It's become clear in the past month what...
Yeah. But Savoie never interviewed. He made a brief presentation in a "meeting" held on the ULL campus, but that was it. He had the job years before when Ray Authement was diagnosed with cancer. ...
UL-Lafayette's president was the system head when he got the job without going through the interview. They're not going to go through a long screening process if one of their own wants the position.
Paul Miller was the AD. It was in 1987 shortly after Reneau became president. At least $500,000 was needed to expand the stadium to over 30,000 seats to meet the I-A requirement.
Tech also...
On SiriusXM's College Sports Sunday this morning Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports said that he expects changes to the CFP deal when it comes up in 2026.
He said he expects, when all the conference...
Dr. Wood's comments about this at the Tech tour stops were all about the look-in increasing the money.
I don't think the deal would be cut unless the conference loses 4 or 5 schools in...
You will see in my original post (#19) that I didn't say anything about a swap where some CUSA east schools would move to the Belt. I said that the schools in the SBC east want to jettison the 4 SBC...
Here is some background:
The cash portions of the 2 deals are relatively close.
This came up recently for ULM's AD. He talked about it on the morning drive show in Ruston a few weeks ago. ...
It's an open secret.
ODU's president has been talking about it since the day they became a CUSA member - someday creating an eastern conference with James Madison as a member.
When it didn't...
Good post.
It really depends on how much chaos occurs.
In the end, the one thing I think happens is CUSA adding Belt schools, as CUSA will likely have some openings.
The SBC East schools...
I'll just add to this. Earlier in this thread the MWC exit fee for schools to leave for 2024, when the Pac 12 TV deal begins, was mentioned by Bulldog Tom. It's $34 million. None of the MWC...
D80,
Have you heard anything regarding Prather Col. at NSU being replaced? If there was ever a time for allocating some money for it this was the year!
He can't approve what the Republican legislature doesn't pass. They could have put more of it into the rainy day fund....but chose not to.
The one thing they can't do is use what is likely...
The capital outlay portion of the Academic Center in the NEZ survived the governor's veto pen, as did every other higher ed project in the state.
There is state money going to literally every campus to finish projects that have seen skyrocketing costs since their initial inception.
I believe there was state money allocated for the Academic...
You do see 18-year old seniors on the football field in their senior season. It's not unusual, but I wouldn't say it's the norm.
One example: I was told that when STM won its first state...
DD, Keep this in mind.
The vast majority of kids who can't find another school after entering the portal did so because they were cut. They didn't quit.
They've been told their scholarship...
And he got the job done when it was time to deliver the grenades!

"Fincher graduated in the spring of 2021 with a bachelor's degree in Biology and minor in Chemistry while having a cumulative GPA of 3.89. He is currently pursuing a second degree in Kinesiology and...
Speaking of high school baseball....does anyone have details on what happened in the Barbe/West Monroe state championship game?
I caught the last few seconds of a radio interview with Sim a few...
Well, it came from a single article. But what I was really interested in was his competition. The Seahawks didn't draft anyone with his skill set, and I don't see a UDFA quite like him, either.
...
With his non-compete they could keep him off the air until January, 2025.
From their standpoint it would be better to pay him and keep him off the air rather than allow him to bring another...
