I could have sworn it was UL-L, you know my alma mater only goes by "Louisiana" for their athletic department teams these days.
The University of Louisiana is technically Tulane University. UL-L is a whole different ball of wax...and I didn't hear him say Lafayette.
That's fine that your athletic department goes by Louisiana. But the University of Louisiana is Tulane University and has been since the 1840s. The university was founded as the Medical College of Louisiana[2] in 1834 partly as a response to the fears of smallpox, yellow fever and cholera in the United States.[3] The university became only the second medical school in the South, and the 15th in the United States at the time. In 1847, the state legislature established the school as the University of Louisiana,[2] a public university, and the law department was added to the university. Subsequently, in 1851, the university established its first academic department. The first president chosen for the new university was Francis Lister Hawks, an Episcopalian priest and prominent citizen of New Orleans at the time. The university was closed from 1861 to 1865 during the American Civil War. After reopening, it went through a period of financial challenges because of an extended agricultural depression in the South which affected the nation's economy. Paul Tulane, owner of a prospering dry goods and clothing business, donated extensive real estate within New Orleans for the support of education. This donation led to the establishment of a Tulane Educational Fund (TEF), whose board of administrators sought to support the University of Louisiana instead of establishing a new university. In response, through the influence of former Civil War general Randall Lee Gibson, the Louisiana state legislature transferred control of the University of Louisiana to the administrators of the TEF in 1884.[2] This act created the Tulane University of Louisiana.[4] The university became privatized, and is one of only a few American universities to be converted from a state public institution to a private one.[5] Therefore, Deondre Clark accidentally indicated that he was going to attend Tulane and not Ohhh La La.
