Loc: Shawnee Kansas A recent request was made to the KSHSAA to set up a Kansas College Wrestling Fund Booth (KCWF) information/donation booth at the High School State Tournaments. We were denied because of a policy that allows only one vendor with an "exclusive merchandising agreement".
Below is the response:
Mr. McCarthy:
Thank you for checking with the KSHSAA in advance. There are two key points for you to know:
1. KSHSAA does not permit vendors or exhibitors at its post season events
2. The KSHSAA has an exclusive merchandise agreement with a contracting company to vend KSHSAA state championship shirts etc. NO other organization may sell or give away items of any type.
In accordance with the above, your request to set up booths at any and all KSHSAA state wrestling tournament sites cannot be approved.

Loc: anytown, usa it's a shame, but that's the society we live in.
if they let the KCWF in, they would have to let any and everyone else in or be guilty of discrimination.
some "not so" repectable organizations might take advantage of this
sad isn't it.

Loc: Shawnee Kansas With the Kansas wrestling communties support - I do believe that this policy need to be reviewed and changed in the future. I think all sports: volleyball, baseball, track, football, basketball, soccer, gymnastics, etc., all of the KSHSAA sports and clubs would want this policy reviewed and changed etc.,
To have only one company receive the "exclusive merchandising agreement" acrossed all KSHSAA events needs to be changed. Baseball families can help baseball, wrestling families can help
wrestling, softball families can help softball, and on and on.
