Here is an idea for some additional funding for trip to minnesota. spend summer working on an article about the ins and outs of how surgeries and other medical care for student athletes are funded. And possibly also discuss the student health fee the regular student pays and if their treatment options compare. In order to complete the article, in close time frame to the Cajuns game, schedule some interviews with medical professionals at the mayo clinic, which I believe is also in minnesota. Maybe they even have some grant funding to cover that and can invite you.
