    Other schools get it.

    These aren't powerhouse BCS schools with large budgets either. Click on the top banner to see that they are over half way there to raising the funds and how their university president (a woman) "gets it" and is active in promoting the revamped stadium. This is more than possible here. We are missing the boat.

    As Ball State Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham explains, "The university is the house, but the stadium is the front porch."

    This is exactly what we have been asking for.

    Unfortunately, our administration things that this will take away from our giving to Champs. They don't realize that most people will give to this in addition to what they already do. In my case, it might encourage me to give something to Champs in addition to a building fund.

    Oh well, in the end they are going to answer for what they do and will not do.

    Nice info. Thanks for posting it.

    However, before Tech fans can start talking about new facilities and stadium improvements, I honestly believe we are going to have to ask ourselves some very tough questions.

    For example, how much longer can Louisiana Tech University survive with Dan Reneau at the helm? Reneau is repeatedly making a national joke out of our beloved university (Poor football and men's BB program, CUSA failurel, KMR fiasco, etc...). His record is BAD. Exactly what does a guy in his position have to do to get fired, or asked to leave? Isn't it time he moved on?

    How about a nice DR head shot on the front page of the BBB site with a clock ticking away adding the days,hours, mins, etc with a tagline stating:
