Yeah I agree. Based on their argument it didn't seem like football was the driving factor. They talked mostly about how every other sport didn't have good numbers, even declining numbers. And said the travel argument we've already discussed. The Abbeville admin talked about how pretty much the only points they get in the Carlisle Cup come from football.*Topcat* wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 11:40 amTicket sales for football just crashed, hope they know that. Football is the gravy train here, everyone knows this. Non revenue sports are great but they don't pay the bills. I would hope that it was not the Football program personnel pushing this. Big mistake, IMO.
Yep. I figured as much. Politics and caving. The world we live in. I am all for the other sports, but, the weight of the football program is more than all the other combined....x10.7timechamps wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 11:45 amYeah I agree.
