Napier makes the National News

[RaginScotsman]

This is a stupid distraction. Move on and the story will be gone by tomorrow.

Is Clint domingue a lspoop supporter?

For what, posting the press conference video? He's media

[ULGrad@HOU]

I think the news attention is actually good. I don’t think the issue itself is that bad really. It can be modified or completely recalled, or not at all and we received our 2nd national news story of the summer. Getting that name out there!

He just seems to be relishing in insulting us.. Where does he work?

[CrazyCajun]

I guarantee the players respond

Could this be the spark to begin complete seperation?

not if martin hall has its way.

I'm sure this was one of those votes where the players voted the way they were supposed to rather than the way they may or may not have wanted to vote.

On the bright side we made the Washington Post.

They UL us all over this article.

Another thing:

Billy Napier made $850K last year as Louisiana's head coach. If he donated $50 on behalf of every scholarship player on his roster, that'd be $4,250.

And Napier would be left with a salary of $845,750.

Isn't the whole idea to make them feel a bigger part of the University and to establish a culture of giving back? Napier paying for them is no different than the scholarship they're getting now in that respect. How does someone paying something else for them do anything to further that? I mean come on, all this brouhaha over $50??

From what we've come to learn, doesn't Georgia Tech do this to all incoming freshman?

And since people get such a hard-on over athletic scholarships, shouldn't this be lauded?

[LifeTimeCajun]

Its ashame that when someone is trying to teach them about accountability and responsibility it gets twisted and spun a different direction. In this day and age of athletics, not just college athletics, so many kids are entitled or think they are entitled to everything. I guarantee you these kids will have more pride about everything they have or receive because of this. Its an ownership thing. This is a teaching tool. And im glad its being done.
