Just out of curiosity. What is the penalty if someone doesn't follow the law on the name business. If something is illegal, the law generally provides some sort of sanction. What is the sanction for improper name usage in Louisiana?
I think it only matters if LSU get upset about it. If that happens the issue will be over very quickly.
There are no repercussions because use of LOUISIANA is NOT ILLEGAL. The UL System board would put a stop to its use if it were and they are not. Our President fully vetted its use before putting out an official statement regarding use of our name. LSU has no say so in this. This is within the UL System, not the LSU System. The university has already stated they don't care what we call ourselves. This is becoming a very tired subject and one that should not come up every time a LA Tech poster gets a hard on about what we call ourselves. I did the complete post to set the record straight on our history of the University of Louisiana name and our current legal use of Louisiana.
If I am not mistaken, UNLV still calls Nevada, Nevada Reno (it's official, legal name), although the university now calls itself Nevada as does the MWC and everyone else nationally. This is no different. LA Tech fans will likely always object to our use of Louisiana and call us UL Lafayette. I don't care what they call us. The rest of the sports world does not have to follow LA Tech fan's thinking and can call us Louisiana. We don't bring this up any more, but will defend our position if questioned. Time for LA Tech fan to let it go.

Then why did you bring it up as you weren't questioned. Nevada, etc., is a different situation entirely. Also, you conveniently fail to address why other schools have a problem with your attempted us of UL and/or Louisiana. You folks just arrogantly and unjustly claim a name that is illegal and unethical to use. So for you to claim " to set the record straight" is false, as you folks refuse to rationally address why the other schools in the UL System do not agree with you. So you have never set the record straight. You just try to force your unjust wishes on others. @ Lafayette created the name issue - no one else.

He also conveniently leaves out how Nevada-Reno used to just be "University of Nevada." Just like UC Berkeley used to just be "University of California" and UT Austin used to be "University of Texas." These are simply continuing to go by the name they were previously called. ULL claiming Louisiana is different, since they have never been "University of Louisiana."
I'm still waiting to hear why they should be Louisiana as opposed to the other eight schools in the UL System. What makes ULL special? They aren't the flagship, like the above mentioned schools are.

You are correct. It is odd how the @Lafayetters created this issue but claim everyone else did, and other than saying others are wrong about it, refuse to reasonably and rationally address the legitimate issues the rest of the state schools have with their illegal and unethical name game.

RE: OT: UL Monroe has 0 OOC games after 2019
Funny how any thread about any Sunbelt program on any site always has people from the RGL Metroplex (Ruston/Grambling/Lincoln Parish) troll the topic to the long resolved name game. Mods must have the patience of Job to tolerate that dead horse beating almost daily. And usually the same suspects, regardless of site.
Giving one party a green light to troll will never end this mess.
And NONE of this has to do with the original thread.

Others brought it up, then a ULL troll came on here.
And this is clearly not "long resolved" as laws haven't changed.

Not funny when ULL and Belch trolls keep trying to unresolve the issue.
The university branding policies apply for all purposes with athletics specifically included. That was resolved when the policies were put into effect except that ULL routinely violates the rules using the sham excuse of "athletics branding".
It also isn't funny when inaccurate and outdated information is used as part of a discussion. I have every right to jump in when misleading information is posted no matter what the original topic of a thread might be.

Every time this comes up, the "illegal" card comes up from Tech. That position has been pointed out to the now it carries ZERO weight. File your own complaint with the ULS or deal with it. Many of your compadres play the LSU card too. No complaints coming from LSU. ULM isn't fighting it. Officially Tech isn't fighting it. The only people complaining are from Ruston. Put up or shut up, go to court and fight over a sports nickname/branding for the legal entity University of Louisiana at Lafayette. (There you go mods, make a sticky with that phrase and band the next poster who ventures there).
UL(L) folks aren't the only ones tired of this permeating every message board. so are mostly everyone else.

There's plenty of games left. Have games ready just not finalized. I was told they would be announced in July. We don't need a home FBS we can get FCS home game. Probably be 5 homes games. We have 6 in 2019.
UGA and Kentucky have opening in 2020. Go look if you don't believe. It's not hard to get Random FCS games. They got SLU and Grambling together this past fall for 2018 and 2019. There's no issues waiting on new AD. We will be fine. They're working FBS games well.

Home game vs USM was announced December 2015 that's less than two year for the September 2017 match up. That means we have 3 years to schedule a FBS vs the two years we had for USM. Please do some research if you're going to make comments you know nothing about.

What school do you support? You seem unacquainted with the law and issue but still have an opinion, though I can't discern what that is. The @ Lafayette folks made this an issue - no one else.
"Giving one party a green light to troll will never end this mess"
I am not familiar with the term "troll" but I assume it to mean to have an opinion without knowing the facts. Ergo, you seem to be the one committing the act.

AD is lame duck we will have a new AD very soon and the games I mentioned will be finalized. There's plenty of games and we have people calling us for games. I know more about the situation than you guys. We're fine and game will be announced shortly . Don't know why people here are so worried about ULM football.

File your complaint/lawsuit whatever and see where the chips fall. Kind of like, if you think you're so right, go ahead, make EVERYONE'S day. Otherwise, again, I suggest to the mods ban the topic of UL(L)'s name from all boards and posters that breach it.
Lafayette folks didn't derail this thread on the first page. Someone threw a piece of meat from another program and tech supporters jumped on it...again.
Have to go watch your big brother play baseball. Later.

Yet we had the #1 recruiting class in SBC per rivals and #3 247. We also beat out P5 schools for some of our players. Soon enough the 2020 games will be announced and 2018 should have a breakout year while beating teams with larger budgets.
