re: Huey Long's influence on LSU football

The state needs a Huey Long to shut down the multitude of worthless degrees and universities in the state. I'm looking at you, southern, SUNOLA, SUSLA, Nicholls, Mcneese, Northwestern, Grambling, LSU-E, LSU-A, and ULM.

Yeah, lets get rid of over half of our universities. That is a ridiculously elitist list of schools that you somehow claim are worthless. McNeese for example educates most of the engineers that work in the plants around Lake Charles. Considering the rapid expansion of industries ($80 billion) in the Lake Charles area it would serve the state to maintain a decent pipeline of well educated citizens for that area. I guess if it were up to you they would just close every university down and ship everyone to Baton Rouge and triple the attendance there in just a few years? Where is all of the money for the new infrastructure going to come from? Your supposed savings have just turned into a major source of debt as you now have to construct buildings and roads that you already have spread out across the state.
