Louisiana is also, to my knowledge, the only state that requires a student body vote to implement a fee.

Apparently there's also some cooling off period that has to occur before you try again if it fails too. The vote we had in '16 was set to be super quietly passed. Only people that really knew about it were athletes and even then only a few of us knew. A freshman teammate of mine who was on student council found out and threw a huge fit. Vote ends up getting shot down largely due to the campaign he lead. Was quite frustrating.

I have a feeling the Louisiana legislator will eventually figure this out but the question is how far they let their 3 UL-System FBS schools fall behind before waking up. History does not lead me to be optimistic about this timeline.

honestly in the day and age we live in anything like this that gets proposed is likely to get shot down quick. the time to change that was likely in the early/mid 2000's.
