Are they changing the name of The Jerry Falwell Center to The Champion Center? They did on the construction cam at least. Yes they did. Should also mentioned that I'm hearing that LU is helping to find a new fire station that would be closer to the campus. I believe it will be around the round abou...

They have a $2 billion endowment, so they must be doing something great. Plus they've improved in regards to NIL sponsorship.

I don't know if it's changed since I went but the online experience at LUO wasn't great. I last attended in 2019. With many other institutions jumping in the online game, LU doesn't have the benefit of being one of the only games in town anymore. It was when I started my degree path but now people ...

Agreed Cruzan. Memphis just got $5 million a year from FedEx NIL. There is an open spot for G5 every year in the playoffs - with the new VA law, LU should be leader of NIL $ by 5x nearest G5 and among top half of Big 12.

I think we should do whatever Tech and UVA do as far as offering money. Those are my thoughts. I'm sure we've heard this countless of times about Jerry Sr.'s vision of competing with the best of the best. In order to do so, LU needs to get great athletes to even compete.

Congress, and everything else in D.C., is a corporate body (D.C.

Sounding more and more like Clemson, FSU to SEC and UNC, UVA to Big10. Louisville, NC State, Va Tech, Pittsburgh or Georgia Tech to B12. Do you think ACC could reload and compete as a Power conf? Who do you think they would reload with? If this were to occur, they might well grab OSU, WSU, SDSU, UN...

Where would they go? back to the PAC2 and picking off the best of the MWC and western AAC (which they should've done to begin with)? I think most likely, the PAC2 joins them in the ACC along with UConn and possibly Memphis. It'd still be mid-tiered "Power conference" with very good MBB but so so fo...

The idea that SMU is paying a lot of money to end up in a conference likely consisting of syracuse, wake forest, Duke, Boston College and a bunch of backfill cracks me up. I'm assuming Stanford and cal will back out of the ACC at that point. Where would they go? back to the PAC2 and picking off the...

The style of the lacrosse field is what LU should do for their fields. It fits with the architecture of the other athletic fields on campus.
