State regent urges Louisiana Tech, Louisiana and Louisiana-Monroe to drop from FBS to FCS

A member of the Louisiana Board of Regents proposed that three state universities step down from the Football Bowl Subdivision to the Football Championship Subdivision due to mounting financial shortfalls. During budget discussions on September 22, Shreveport attorney Wilbert Pryor argued that Louisiana Tech, Louisiana, and Louisiana-Monroe should adopt a more modest approach.

Officials noted that each institution carries significant financial deficits, with Louisiana facing a twenty million dollar gap, Louisiana Tech sixteen million, and Louisiana-Monroe ten million. Additional board members, including David Aubrey and Dallas L.

Hixson, agreed that the current athletic spending path is unsustainable and requires intervention regarding surging coaching compensation.
