Will,
I am not trying to be difficult but I just want to understand your point. In one post above you said that high school wrestling can easily pay for itself and make money but then in your last post you state that high schools are totally subsidized as NOTHING generates net revenue. The two statements seem to contradict each other but I am probably missing something. Could you explain that a little further for me?
Thanks.
Vince,
A small amount of fundraising via a tournament can pay for the expenses incurred by most wrestling programs. Thus the statement, wrestling can easily pay for itself. (I suppose if you pay for the volunteer time it might be more difficult). My point was that the costs incurred on an annual basis to operate a wrestling program are very minimal compared to football. Football, basketball, and track are sacred cows and NEVER mentioned as being on the chopping block in Kansas.
