Four months since South Carolina entered into a two-game series to play black college staple South Carolina State, the effects of that agreement have resonated closer to home.
Southern University Board of Supervisors member Tony Clayton said Sunday he will ask SU Athletic Director Greg LaFleur to send a formal letter of request to LSU Athletic Director Skip Bertman this week for the two schools to begin talks about scheduling a football game in the near future.
