Not to defend ULL (believe me it pains me), but this is obnoxious to single them and Tech out.

Just about everybody in FBS is experiencing this including a lot of P4 schools. Yeah, it's bad. Yeah, like 110 schools need to take "humble pie" by his definition.

ULM though wouldn't surprise me.

I don't know if FCS is the answer, but it seems that the current D1 football system will need to divide into financially competitive sectors. Unless effective legislation is passed to limit spending. The power of free markets to change the landscape is impressive.

Wow.....that would be a hard pill to swallow for any of the state universities.
