Predictably so, I feel it (supporting Summer wrestling) is all part of the Kansas wrestling pie. Granted, "kids folkstyle" provides most of the pie!
I agree and I would suggest that they get a proportionate amount of the "pie".
Are there divisions even within the "kids folkstylers" that don't get their share?
No, not any longer since some members both on and off the executive council have made sure in recent years that more funds are going towards folkstyle. Thus, we have now, and will in the near future, have a significant shortage of funds to run all of the off-season wrestling.
Do the 6 and unders deserve a bigger chunk?
YES, they do! Now if we could just sell that to District 1 members.
Does a folkstyle club in District 4 deserve the same slice as a club in District 2 that wrestles year round?
Yes, because clubs, like people, are all equal.
Our society is full of examples of disproportion. But each of our members does pay!
Yes, and they should be prepared to pay more, much more. Will the membership be willing to absorb a 5-10 dollar card increase over the next two to three years? I don't know, but if they aren't, some off-season programs will have to be cut or at least severely trimmed.
I think part of our obligation as members is to demand fiscal responsibility and appropriateness from our leaders. If they fail, then we have avenues to handle them.
I believe our leaders do for the most part demonstrate fiscal responsibility.
