As to High Point, their player payroll is north of $1,000,000 I believe.

Imagine if you had been in a coma for the last 4 years and you woke up and read this post?

Queens had some pride too….. Ive heard pretty informed stories of how big of a financial mess they were in. Im not saying LR is in bad shape, I have no idea. What i am saying is things people thought were not possible are becoming possible. The difference between the haves and have nots has created unsustainable financial situations and we will see more mergers. LR most likely wouldnt be a target other than location, but if you think public schools cant participate, you are wrong….

I suppose you are directing this my way. I have lived in Hickory since 1994, and immediately beside the LR campus for more than 6 years. Trust me, LR has it going on.

We already have a campus/former office building in Hickory. It is nothing compared to LR.

It also could be affected by LR changing ADs in September. As many know, former App AD Roachel Laney served as the Interim AD before a new Director of Athletics was hired in December.

Did Laney come out of retirement for this or, well, what was Lanel's career path after his exit from App State

I am not sure to be honest. This was in the LR public release - “He served as athletic director at Appalachian State University for 14 years and worked on organizing committees for the Southern Conference as well as the NCAA. More recently, Laney served as the inaugural director of the Boone Area Sports Commission and worked for nine years as director of Gameday Quality Control for the Carolina Panthers. In addition, Laney is an avid volunteer and coach with the Watauga County Special Olympics and has been a referee and umpire for the North Carolina High School Athletic Association.”
