Like UL, WKU is a member of the Sun Belt Conference, but the Hilltoppers compete in Division 1-AA in football, so the Cajuns have lost a vital member of their athletic staff to a program that competes at a lower level.

However, Ohrt was in charge of conditioning for all of the Cajuns' men's and women's athletic squads, while his new position at WKU will solely involve the football program and will include a pair of assistants.

For Cajun football coach Rickey Bustle, the departure is a frustrating one after he replaced two assistant coaches last spring.

The UL AD just left for this reason. He said that it was impossible to get a decent pay for his coaches and that he was tired of fighting the good fight for them. But you can't fault their system entirely for this. Bustle is the highest paid Sun Belt coach (he makes about $400K a year if he hits his incentives) so he is taking up a lot of their salary cap room with his own paycheck. I would be willing to bet that the coaches have left UL for more money... If I were Ricky Bustle, I would take a pay cut and award some pay raises to my hard working assistants.
