I want one crack at the state budget and some of the college athletic department budgets. Full authority.


I think you are closer with your 10,000 dollar figure as far as budgets. That is for 2 coaches and a coach that has to spend out of pocket money to get things. Also the uniforms are on a 6 year rotation with warms up not getting replaced in forever.

Republic County Girls basketball team has to buy their warm ups or travel suits and they cost them 50 or 60 bucks- alot to ask from kids. Not sure the wrestling team could offord to get the kids to buy them.
