Ragin' Cajuns in Big Easy means big bucks for program

Not just the program.

Academics benefits even more.

Especially when the Football program brings in just under 1,000,000 dollars from playing in the bowl game. Just 4 weeks later, the President of the University is then able to cut 1,000,000 dollars in state funds from the Athletic budget to place into the general fund of the University.
