They have suspended football activity? Wasn't aware they ever started it...unless you think 0-8 and never having a lead even for one second is "football activity."
The Big C is coming....the big cancellation.
Do you mean that we don't get to play them in S'port......
It was such a lame political move our former AD made...nothing about it was sincere, but typical of the way he operated.
Holy smoke Batman a third thread mentioning NeLU announcing they are suspending football operations. School to the east. Very clever. We are Ohio State and they are Michigan. Michigan and NeLU both will at least consider new coaches after the season.
Refusing to mention a state, team, school, university, or whatever comes from Woody Hayes (Ohio State football coach) so hating the Michigan Wolverines that he refused to say the word "Michigan". So whenever he would speak of Michigan team he would say the school or team up north. If he was speaking of the state he would say the state up north. Everyone knew what he meant. Coop's "school to the east" very clever. Dan Mullen often used "school up north" when speaking about Ole Miss when he was at Mississippi State.
NLU should be La Tech Monroe! And Tech takes oversight of their entire academic program
Turning that cesspool in Monroe into Tech-Monroe will take a lot of work, and money. And! it would free the former USL to drop the city tag in their name...oh, wait, they already have.
I'd be willing to make a deal with ULL. Split up the University of Louisiana system, schools in the north of the state go into the Louisiana Tech University system. ULM and/or Grambling (if politically possible) are absorbed into Tech becoming the flagship of the system. ULL can keep the ones in the south and can officially become the University of Louisiana head of their own system. Both could unite to fight the stranglehold of LSU.
That might not be a bad idea. ULL, McNeese, Nicholls St, UNO & SE Louisiana could report into the ULL System, while LA Tech, ULM, Grambling, NSU & LSU-Shreveport (which would be renamed and moved out of the LSU system) could report into the LA Tech System. Since the state of Louisiana is so culturally divided, having two separate systems representing each culture might be a Home Run. Such a setup might allow and encourage the schools in the LA Tech system to focus on north Louisiana, and getting specific educational resources delivered to certain pockets where needed. Shreveport is a great example. The LA Tech "system" could focus on getting better resources to LSU-S that fit the LA Tech system profile. The current LSU system has 14 schools. They don't even know who LSU-S is. Obviously ULL could spearhead the same kind of efforts in south Louisiana.
