Your corps had 3,000 members when the ROTC was mandatory

That was not until 1969 AFTER the program had changed to a 2-year ROTC program. And women were exempt from the requirement.

Why don't you do yourself a favor and actually read up on the Corps at LSU. It would save you some embarrassment.

Hell, A&M still has ~3,000 members in the Corps

Yes, that's because y'all are now a Senior Military College while LSU is not. But that has no bearing on why A&M sucked at football for so long while LSU didn't.

I'm not using it as an excuse why we sucked. All I said was it cost us games post WWII.

But definitely not in the modern era. You keep framing 1969. Lets start there. From 1969-present A&M has not been negatively effected by anything related to ROTC/Corps.

We actually had a pretty decent 25 year run during that stretch



Edit: HTF did you get us so far off topic? And why are your panties in such a wad over LSUs corps?

No, it's because it went down from 10,000+ to about 2,000+.

and you can't have compulsory ROTC because that has been illegal since either 1969 or 1973.
