Re: Eastern NC BBQ

Wilbur’s is my go to and my measuring stick for all others. Parker’s is my #2. I’m from Fayetteville so the BBQ Hut is a good option for me.

Re: App State hires new assistant GM

I'm curious how you think the clash between Title IX and the the Sherman Act is going to play out. They cannot both be enforced at the same time. It is a very interesting dilemma that is headed to an impasse. In the end, I believe that Title IX is going to win and here’s why. Both the Sherman Act a...

Re: App State hires new assistant GM

I am not the one who complained. I have been the one asking others for ideas. A lot of tough decisions are going to be made. I don't want to violate Title IX but I am wondering if schools would have football separate from the school and just be sponsored so those scholarships don't count or if scho...

Re: App State hires new assistant GM

No and if you look back I was not the one who said that our finances are a big problem. I was simply replying to AppSt94 saying that. OK. So, what ideas do YOU have (that don’t involve gutting every other sport or violating Title IX six ways from Sunday) to cure the budget ills of App State Footbal...

Re: App State hires new assistant GM

I welcome adult responses any time but I think lame jokes that we would have told in high school is beneath us after we are 21 years old. You should tell others to give more because I was not the one complaining. I never have said we don't have enough money to be competitive in the SBC. Eric? Is th...

I love BBQ of all kinds. But anything west of Orange County is just sustenance.

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs

The financials provided above are pretty clear. All of the teams are a fiscal money pit. Yes people are going to pick football and men’s basketball over all of the others. That’s not a flex when pretty much everyone in America would say the same thing. The point that is being made is the revenue is...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs

I brought her up because she spends a lot of money a time fundraising for women’s sports. She does not give enough to fund them. It is not the responsibility of any donor to fund a budget for a sport. Donations are subsidies given out of generosity. There isn’t a single sport at App, including foot...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs

I figured you were rounding based on numbers you saw online. I would love to see the exact amount of money that every sport brought in this past year and the amount of alumni donations for the AD overall and those that were given just to a specific sport. If you find a link with exact numbers I wou...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs

Can you provide a link with those exact numbers? I am not an App football only supporter. I do think football, basketball, and baseball should drive most decisions but it is good to have other sports for more athletes. Those happen to be my 3 favorite sports but they are the money sports. They shou...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs

When you talk about Irene I am curious how old is she? She might fund a sport now but when she dies will her children still do it? If you are depending on one person and the sport does not generate revenue through tickets, merchandise, TV revenue, etc then at some point that sport will be a drain u...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs

It is a booster who loves golf and basically keeps the program afloat because they love it, right? It is not because they are selling out matches and drawing revenue from crowds or TV money, correct? So what’s your point? Baseball sells tickets but it doesn’t generate the revenue that makes it self...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs

It's my understanding that the golf program does get a lot of non-university funding. It does. Those vans and last seasons trip to Stanford for a tournament were funded by a donor. It is a booster who loves golf and basically keeps the program afloat because they love it, right? It is not because t...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs

Yep, I know what Title IX is. The House Settlement has not been collectively bargained. Taking revenue from those who generate it and forcing them to give it to someone else restricts the ability of the athletes to make money. SCOTUS has already said the NCAA cannot do that. So, Title IX is going t...

Re: Staff Reductions Coming To ADs

A strike hurts everyone. We are already losing donors who don’t want any part of this NIL. Some, like me stomach it because I want to continue supporting App. But if this current trajectory creates a stoppage of play, then you will lose those folks siting on the fence.
