It is difficult to get an apples to apples comparison. The intent was not to stimulate a comparision although one must admit that it was inevitable.

What we are going to see now is what we experience every year. Counting coaches there are over 9,000 card buyers in Kansas. The majority of these card buyers don't need what the majority of their funds are going towards. They are merely along for the ride. We are lucky if 5% participate in the international styles which is the true benefit of USA over AAU. USA has FILA Governing body status while AAU does not. $12 or $21 there are funds being spent that really don't benefit the majority of our members. This is, for the most part, impossible for us to control. What we can control is where the other funds are going and I think the majority do not know how those are being utilized either. This stream might educate some of those.

So, Mr. Juby, where is the additional $5 going this year? If we buy our cards online from USA Wrestling are they $21 or $35? I am confused as to why some states would be willing to give up their funds if they could keep them. Further, I am confused why USA would allow Kansas and Florida to keep $14 while all of the other states are forgoing those funds to USA Wrestling. It really doesn't make very much sense. I am just looking for the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Black and white. When it comes to funds there should be NO gray areas. No more tap dancing please...
