Golden Lions Top SAAC Coin Drive Competition
The competition provides an opportunity for student-athletes to be actively involved and show support within the conference and to the community. The coin drive began with the SWAC Basketball Season on Tuesday, January 3, 2012 and concluded on Saturday March 3, 2012. The winning school receives the total proceeds from the coin drive, to be split evenly between the charity of their choice and their respective Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
For the second consecutive year, Arkansas-Pine
Bluff topped the competition, raising $1608.98, followed, again, by Prairie View
A&M. Rounding out the top five, were Grambling State, Alabama A&M, and Southern.
