How state funding cuts and athletics reductions damage the GSU brand www.thenewsstar.com/article/20131120/NEWS01/311200013/How-state-funding-cuts-athletics-reductions-damage-GSU-brandThe Grambling football rebellion — short lived, but widely seen — said to the world something is wrong with the school’s football program. Players refused to take the field or even get on a bus to Jackson State. Players made demands that highlighted not only broken down equipment for sports teams but also the university’s dire financial straits. Its true impact was less about athletics than it was about the future of Grambling. “It hurt. I wasn’t concerned about me. I was concerned about the university, the institution, about the negative press it was going to get,” said Grambling Athletics Director Aaron James. “We realize these are young men, and you’ve got to understand them. They’re 18, 19, 20 years old. You can’t take it personally, but I felt for the institution.” Institutions of higher education will always be about just that, education and the future benefit of that education to its students. But each university leans hard on its own strengths — both historical and perceived — to bolster, foster and continue that mission. “It’s no secret athletics at Tech is very visible. It’s what people see of the university on ESPN,” said Louisiana Tech University Athletics Director Tommy McClelland. “We were on TV 10 or 12 times this year, and we’ve got strong enrollment for next year. A lot of that is academics, but there’s no doubt athletics is the window through which people view the university.” Louisiana universities continue to reel from a climate of budget cuts, savings exercises and a shifting funding focus to community and technical colleges. Sports programs are shouldering their share of that burden, but at a cost as real as downsizing academic programs. The money problem Louisiana universities are being asked to do more with less, and do so with varying levels of success and priority. • Grambling and Louisiana Tech both saw their state appropriations drop in 2013-14, by 13.8 percent and 20.6 percent, respectively. Those reductions are reflected differently on each university’s athletics programs. Read the rest of the article on the link above.

If he was truly concerned about the university and the kids, then please explain to us why in the hell did he ever except the AD job he wasn't qualified for?.....It was all about him and Dr. Pogue: “It hurt. I wasn’t concerned about me. I was concerned about the university, the institution, about the negative press it was going to get,” said Grambling Athletics Director Aaron James. “We realize these are young men, and you’ve got to understand them.

I'm asking you.... Where are the results? Where is the revenue plan? Around my parts, you get fired for not doing your *^%#+*% job. In sports and in life, excuses don't work. Just say there aren't any next time. It'll save me some time typing in an effort to wake you the *%#@ up!!!

Let them give you a answer which only they can answer. Quit hiding on this board talking sh@t and go get your answer that you so desperatly seek. Once again go confront them and get your answer and then share it with us on this board. Whenever I have asked for information from the administration staff and got a reply I have shared the info. Now it's your turn to do the same. I'm not Dr. Pogue and not on the staff so go and ask your question from them or shut the hell up!

I have asked them for their revenue plans of action and an annual report of extramural revenue and fundraising results... Do you know what their response was? Nothing, no reply no nothing. On the other hand, when informing them about important university topics, I get the we are working on that, and the thank you for your suggestion replies. I'm asking you as you seem to be a staunch advocate for this president and his administration. I would like to support these people, but there are no positive results. I hear the President wants to start a chicken dinner fundraiser.... I guess that's our plan along with that piggy bank initiative. LMAO
