Going to D-1 didn't effect admissions for ULM. Going from D-2 to D-1 actually DECREASED attendance significantly at home games (which were almost non-existent in the early years after the change. We were actually National Champions as D-2 but never have a winning season as D-1. That doesn't bring in students. It does, however, bring in money. LSU paid us a lot of money to lose to them at home this year. A group of sorority sisters and I went to the game, but we all rooted for LSU. (Hey, we've all been lifelong LSU fans, and ULM has done everything in their power to kill off any alumni support of their football program.) The only exciting thing about the football program in recent years was the surprise win over Bama three or four years ago in Saban's first year.
