On the money situation, I am not sure on what the school would do to sponsor or grant us certain things. We are eligible to apply for things at cost(scales, tourney shirts & hats, weigh-in bags, gas possibly)of school, but not real sure how it works. And for the boat situation for club tournaments inside U of L to decide top members to quailfy for national events, we may look into something like Purdue does with having people offer their boat and guidance. For more info on that visit the Purdue bass fishing website http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~pubass/fishingLinks.php We are still trying to get this thing going, and I have emailed a few professors about the advisor/coach position. Once this is filled, SGA will look at our qualifications of becoming a university club/team. But it looks like it is becoming a pretty big deal, collegiate bass fishing that is, and I have always dreamed of hoisting that trophy above my head like ole Luke did last night, and at 27 years old, man I tell you what a dream. For more info. email me at [email protected] or call 502-445-8809 after 5 pm and I will be happy to answer any questions.
