ULM Going After Student Fee

[SMD7636]

Students enjoy athletic events at no cost. UL doesn’t have an athletics fee, but most universities in the SBC do. In order to stay competitive, UL needs to pass this too. An athletic fee is not NIL, but to support athletics.

If I was a student there is absolutely zero way I’d vote yes on a student fee.

No one said the athletic fee was or for NIL. But now with NIL, and in Louisiana an effort to exempt NIL monies from state income taxes when your regular student working at Pizza Village is still subject to state income taxes, I can see where those students say no way.

What are the reasons & situations UL students would agree to an athletic fee?
