As well as, it sounds like, the baseball GM position in general?

The government program he was on will not be renewed???
What the hell does that mean? Is that UNO-speak for an LSU-driven budget cut?

So maybe the funding has been cut by the state of Louisiana.
From the UNO site: "The $1.95 million public-private initiative will provide year-round youth programming for approximately 7,000 young people across the Greater New Orleans region over the next year, giving local children and teens additional options for recreation and mentorship."
So I would assume that has been spent and not renewed. So maybe the funding has been cut by the state of Louisiana, NORD, and / or others.

Things keep getting better all the time I see.
Something just smells about this, straight up sewer smell.
