Louisiana is a different culture. The politicians in
places like Alabama, Louisiana, and other States have virtually their entire voting base following the college football teams. They don't have a choice if they want to hold office. Sad, but academics and dignity have been put to the side with FBS, and maybe it's always been like that and they pretended it was about academics, but no one is pretending anymore. This is about money, football, and being #1.

Come on, that's not true. 50% chance we'd still be ACC. 40% B12, 10% SEC
