University of Louisiana head coach Billy Napier announced a new team rule this week during his mid-week August camp press conference that "encourages" all scholarship players to donate to the school’s athletic fund–which costs $50 to be a minimal level member of the Ragin' Cajun Athletic Foundation. The policy will be optional for walk-on members of the team.
The rule will go into effect starting with the beginning of this school year.
“It’s all about gratitude,” Napier said in his announcement.
The language of the policy, which first “required” the donation by scholarship players, was replaced with “encouraged" by early Friday afternoon.
