Two things: I sure this article must be talking about Southern's half of the Bayou Classic only. They should say that. Can someone explain what they mean in the "we pay NBC 1 million dollars, they don't pay us statement"? WTH


SU seeks control of Bayou Classic

Board delays decision after heated debate

A heated debate about the management of the Bayou Classic football event was squeezed in during a chaotic Friday at Southern University.

Between two private sessions to discuss litigation by a top Southern official and before announcing his sabbatical leave, acting Southern University System President Ed Jackson tried to push the Southern Board of Supervisors to immediately hand over control of the Bayou Classic to the main Baton Rouge campus.

The nationally televised football game against Grambling State University and the high-profile events surrounding the November game are handled by the Southern University system, which oversees five individual campuses.

The board ultimately decided to delay the power struggle until the next board meeting when a report on the Bayou Classic financing is complete.

?I think it most appropriate that complete management be returned to the Baton Rouge campus,? said Jackson, who was chancellor before being appointed interim president last month.

?That is where the team is, that is where the band is,? he said.

Board member Tony Clayton of Port Allen interpreted the move as a way to strip power from suspended system president Ralph Slaughter, who is slated to return from his paid suspension after July 6........

Even though I'm thinking Anderson meant SU and Gram, the Advocate does not state that. But then again...one never knows.

Still trying to figure this control thing out.
 
Maybe the article was referring to controlling SU's activities/finances, and not the entire classic.

About y'all paying NBC to be on TV, that's been known for years.
 
Jag-BR,

What are you listening to? One day you'll learn how to read more than one paper on the internet. They're free. Knowledge is free. Y'all got a mess up there. The stuff going on up at Southern is no secret. It's all over the news. This foolishness at Southern needs to stop. It affects Grambling too. In the long run,it makes all of us look bad.

Don't worry about what I'm listening to, and you are right it's a mess but still don't try to make it seem like SU is the only school with problems.

Don't you think some of the mess Gram creates affects SU? Be it directly or indirectly? Yes, I agree, it makes us all look bad. I have my conspiracy theories but I'll keep them to myself with respect to a better SU.
 
Everybody watches everybody. Just tell them not to don't screw up the Bayou Classic.

Have fun on that train ride!

Who said I was going on a train? I was just posting for folks who wanted to know, but since you watch SU so much you might can ride with the QB Club to Chi-Town and you are right about the Bayou Classic.
 
I can't believe ya'll pay to be on TV. That is some ridiculous shizza. SU needs to take that money, hire a better grounds and facilities crew and upgrade some academic buildings on campus. It looks like shizza all over that campus.

NEGRO GO TO HELL. We are building new dorms as of right now, renovations and additons are going on to the restrooms and concession stands so that should be done before the season. Sports Complex and Baseball Field house will begin shortly and the stadium will begin before the 1st home game or before the season.

SU/Gram wins in the long run by paying, instead getting chump change from the network. SU and Gram gets to keep the advertisement dollars during the Bayou Classic :nod:.

Broham, you just talked about renovations to the athletics facilities and some dorms.

1. SU Athletics facilities are actually OK, maybe needing a few renovations.
2. You mothersuckas definitely needed an overhaul on dorms, in fact you just need to tear all that existing shizza down.
3. My comments were directed towards the SU classroom buildings and academic structures, (i.e. - labs, library)

Take that million dollars or how much ever it is that you spend with NBC and put it to good use on campus homeboy. The campus is a dump my friend. SU produces quality students, because I know plenty of them, but it is a crime for that school to have the reputation that it has and look the way it does in this good year of 2007.

Ok...and your point is? :rolleyes: An empty wagon...:shame:
 
In other news Edward Jackson is taking a sabbatical leave. :jump:. Now if we can get rid of Anderson and bring Floyd Kerr back, our athletic programs can return to their previous state.

Yep, because Floyd did say he miss Baton Rouge well Louisiana.. :D :D Now, nothing is wrong with our library. Classrooms you must be talking about, but all the other stuff in the back is being torn down for space. I heard they were going to put the Sports Complex by the old JROTC buildings after they tear them down.

Dayum. Great Pics! I was just up there yesterday in the Union. I need to take a ride in the back more often. Thanks JBR :tup:
 
So does Southern and Grambling both pay 1 million to get on NBC? All of this time I was under the impression that the payout from the network to the schools was 1 million. .
