ULM accomplishes more with less resources than any school I am aware of.

UAB's loss is most certainly ULM's gain.

So you have Navy, Army, ULM, and SHS* ranked, but you’re telling me we have to up our NIL game if we want to be any good?

*and a few others on that list that I doubt are giving big NIL deals

USA Today must have been impressed.  We lost and advanced 14 places from 70 to 56.

Beat Tulane on Saturday and we likely jump all the way to #7.

As I stated in another thread, a loss is a loss as it pertains to conference standings, but not as it pertains to perception.

So, as fans of the American, let's hope UNLV beats Boise State this weekend

Not sure this is the best strategy, but hey, it worked this time.  Looking forward to the Tulane game to see what a win does for us.

ULM and SHSU are not ranked on a national scale, this is just a G5 ranking. SHSU is 5-2 just like us and just got beat by Western Kentucky by 17. ULM is 5-1. Hopefully we can aspire to perform better against our peers than two schools playing in conferences we left.

ULM has not finished above .500 since 2012. In that time they are 41-95

Call me stupid without calling me stupid.  Do you seriously think (1) I couldn’t figure out that this is a G5 poll and that (2) I thought ULM and SHS were actually ranked???

You say “aim a little higher,” but ULM is ahead of us, so there’s that.  But no where did I say that we should aspire to be ULM or SHS, just pointing out that you obviously don’t need mega-NIL to be successful at the G5 level based on these rankings.

Your original gripe is the idea that we need to up our NIL game to be any good while then listing a program ranked lower than us in the graph. Zero logic.

And for what it's worth, Navy and Army pay their head coaches significantly more than we do. Morris has a base salary of 900k and total compensation of about 1.3 million. Army's HC is at 2.0 million and Navy at 1.8 million. We'd also be undefeated with Army's schedule BTW. Take a look at it. Either way, NIL or not, we're not spending like the top AAC programs.
