Allow LSU Club Sports to compete for 2021 Season

The Issue

Louisiana State University has allowed many varsity NCAA sports to continue to practice and compete throughout the Fall of 2020 and into the Spring of 2021. In observance of our "safety", however, all club sports including Lacrosse, Rugby, and Ultimate Frisbee and many more are not allowed to compete or even scrimmage for that matter, as of this posting.

Many students find these club sports valuable for stress relief, personal development, and social experience while in college. LSU continues to boast on how many clubs there are to offer, but limits our ability to enjoy them. Many students have already invested into clubs with dues upwards of $2000 to participate.

Help us make change and fight for LSU Emergency Operations Center to allow club sports to compete! With your help, we can prevent LSU from discriminating against Club sports and bending the rules for varsity NCAA sports in order to maintain a flow of revenue.
