New NCAA Rule May Shut Down a Successful Cancer Fundraiser

Lauren Loose is the daughter of a football coach at Lafayette College. Neurofibromatosis is just one of Lauren’s diagnoses. The Loose family started a charity football camp that draws upon the highly lucrative and competitive world of NCAA football recruiting to raise money for research.

In the meantime, the NCAA is trying to make things fairer with some new rules. One of these rules is inadvertently affecting the family’s fundraising efforts.

Sports Illustrated has a very interesting article on the situation.
