Jackson State at Tulane in 2013?

[JROCK]

That would be every school in the SWAC including JSU. We are all broke in the grand scheme of things. None of us have money or none of us would even entertain these beat downs for paydays. So every SWAC school is desperate. None of us are flowing with cash by no means. If we were, we would be paying mofos to come play us in our own stadiums, our schools would have state of the art facilities athletically across the conference and the list goes on. Just saying. Ain't no rich school in the SWAC. Not one.

jsu budget is some 4 million dollars below the top budgets in the SWAC which we know compared to other conferences in many instances is abysmally low. Some of these myopic jsu posters are having a mirage. There mindset is akin to having the false pride of a millionaire but in reality own a 2013 Cadillac and living in a one bedroom 3 room shotgun shack with holes in the floor, leaks in the roof and wall paper for wind breaker. This is very similar to that cliche' relating to a champagne mind and a malt liquor wallet. If the truth be told jsu don't have the best HBCU athletic program as of last year in the state of Mississippi, Valley does based on their standing in the Commissioner Cup race.

Dude please. It's about being frugal and wise in how ones assets are utilized. Can't say that paying three coaches at one time is being a good steward of ones precious assets.:snicker:

 

[JR]

JR, please don't do the usual and lump other schools with your struggling school. Thanks in advance.

Dude. Aint none of our schools got money. JSU is struggling like anyone else. Ms don't have any damn money as a State

Speaking as someone who is from neither state, there isn't much difference between Mississippi and Louisiana. Both states have backwards politics, a poor business climate, and little-to-no interest in public education.

If Jackson State plays Tulane next season, I will be there to support my Tigers.

Louisiana has money, politicians are just stealing it. Oil in North Louisiana, Casino's all over the state, Seafood, Fisheries(The Gulf), Oil again, etc. When a state can have pro teams there is money somewhere. Nonchalant stay on the east coast because you are definitely not in the know, must be the offspring of JayRob.

Look who shows up after a four month hibernation. Hahahahahahaha!!!!

Its called work. Doesn't change the fact of my previous statement. lol Try to throw a smoke screen for you and your son all you want to. Nonchalant is just like you, speak about things you have no knowledge about. Ole Miss is the state of Mississippi's pro team lol.:tup:

Bamans and Louisianians talking economy and the likes to 'Sippians is like a conversation of who's the smartest in special ed. And that logic of having a pro team is flawed. Virginia has a higher population, and I'm willing to bet it has more money than Louisiana...all without a pro team.

Dude, I am from North Carolina and live in Charlotte. I know what a healthy business climate looks like. Louisiana is as backwards as they come. While you cast stones at neighboring states, the rest of the nation looks at your state as one big joke.

Louisiana has more resources than most States, including States that are a lot bigger. Louisiana politics are definitely the problem with that State. There's one major resource in Louisiana that no State in the country will ever have, which is the mouth of the Mighty Mississippi River. 34 States and parts of Canada drains into the Mississippi River.

True.....Louisiana definitely should be larger than States like North Carolina. Louisiana probably had more Fortune 500 companies to start there than any state in the country, such as Delta Airlines. Politics in Louisiana drove away a lot of businesses from Louisiana that have gone to other States and did well, such as Disneyworld in Florida. But because of Louisiana's natural resources and location, Mississippi would probably never surpass Louisiana economically. Louisiana has money, but most of it is tangled up in political corruption.

Loisiana has deep south money. There is a difference.

usa, come on mane!!!! Let us all know why you been gone for so long. And don't give us the excuse that it was because Grambling football sucked this year.:lol::lol::lol:

Now how did a discussion about JSU scheduling Tulane turn into the economy of Mississippi and Louisiana?:smh: I blame JR for this.

No matter what, there's plenty of money in Louisiana. Louisiana most corrupt industry is its insurance industry which is regulated by Louisiana Department of Insurance. Citizens in Louisiana are so backwards that they would rather elect politicians that would keep tax rates down and receive huge kickbacks from large insurance companies (State Farm/Allstate) that would charge Louisiana residents 3 to 4 times as much in insurance rates as they would in another State, which doesn't make any sense since most insurance monies go out-of-state and tax dollars stay in-State. A good example of this is when I lived in Virginia. While living in Virginia, I insured my two (2) vehicles and my apartment at a rate of approximately $800 per year. My personal property taxes for my two (2) vehicles were approximately $400 per year. Insurance and personal property taxes combined was approximately $1,200 per year in Virginia. When I moved back to Louisiana, insurance for one (1) vehicle was approximately $1,600 per year. If Louisiana properly regulated its insurance industry to keep insurance rates down, they could minimally raise taxes to take care of most of the State’s shortfalls and the residents still wouldn't have to pay as much as most people do in other States. It really concerns me that the citizens of Louisiana hasn't yet protested about being ripped off by large insurance companies.

When you keep a population under-educated, well you know the rest......

True....It's really bad now since Louisiana has been taken over by a bunch of bat crap crazy Tea Party folks. Baton Rouge is too big of a city not to have a loop around it, but folks in Baton Rouge's surrounding areas, mainly Livingston Parish don't want any type of tax increase to pay for better roads, which surprised the hell out of me when my home parish (Rapides Parish) voted to increase their property taxes to upgrade and expand the Rapides Parish Coliseum. But I guess when folks finally realize how much revenue they are missing out on, they might change their minds.

Yep politics has f'ed up a lot in Louisiana. Dude said Louisiana has "no money" but then comes around and say they have "deep south money", rotfl. You can tell who's in the know and who just speculates. BTW i'm sure JSU will have a blast playing Tulane in the N.O. Thats labor day weekend also. Nice.

If you're measuring state wealth based on revenue generated, Louisiana generates 3 times the amount of revenue that Mississippi does. Your top 5 revenue producing state are 1) California 2) New York 3) Texas 4) Florida 5) Illinois. (North Carolina and Geogia is a razor thin difference and either one of them can be #10 right now). Now if you're looking at control of state spending, we all know that California is out of control but they are playing with so much more money. (Louisiana ranks about 24th nationally at revenue production and Mississippi ranks about 39th)

Georgia and North Carolina has more than twice as many people than Louisiana. The best comparison would be overall revenue generation per capita. Due to crazy past politics (Huey & Earl Long), Louisiana has lost so much money in oil and gas royalties that it is not even funny. Senator Mary Landrieu claims she is fighting to get Louisiana the same portion of offshore oil and gas royalties that other States such as Texas receive.

Edited, Mississippi would be the 3rd worse in the country and Louisiana ranked 25th. The problem with the per capita theory though is it don't break down to actual money (Washington DC, Deleware, Conneticut Minnesota and New Jersey are the top 5 that way). You can have a high per capita and be poor as all get up. North Carolina is 19th and Georgia 24th per capita.

 

[Nonchalant]

In regards to revenue, public education, politics, and public perception, Louisiana is no better than its neighboring states. Why bring up revenue when the majority of your state looks as neglected as MS and the public university system is just as comparable?

I am not sure who brought it up but this is a forum where people exchange perspectives. I hope that answers your question. Again, Louisiana generates 3 times the revenue as Mississippi does.

I guess what most folks on here are saying, they understand why Mississippi is in bad shape, but due to the money that is generated in Louisiana, it definitely should not be in the same boat as Mississippi. Louisiana tourist industry along probably out generate most industries combined in Mississippi. Louisiana tourist industry probably ranks up there with New York, California, and Florida.

I am aware that the federal government has been reaming Louisiana forever and a day with oil and gas royalties (you can thank past ignorance to that). The federal government will never reimburse or give reciprocity relating to those coffers.
