If you have the pull to get the ear of someone in the administration that can land us a meeting with the powers to be I think that all of this nonsense can be worked out quickly & efficiently without further damage.
The funny thing about what I say is that, as an alumnus & working in Shreveport, I out of all of the wonderful alumni on this board, can probably least afford to be able to donate but I believe Tech can benefit from my organizational skills & I just may be able to land a major sponsor from Shreveport to help. This potential sponsor has their name on building & atheltic venues here in the city. It is someone that already supports LSUS & LSU. Also a major contributor & supporter of Centenary College but has pulled back support since they have downgraded to D2. In fact, Learfield, BVD & DR have missed many potential donors &/or opportunities here in Shreveport/Bossier.
