Will,
You are accusing me of a cover-up. Obviously you are simply going to take anything I say as either a falsehood or self-serving. I've made an honest effort to respond to all of your comments, but I'm done now. You can think what you like, I don't really care. My goal is to do what I think is best for Kansas wrestling, whether it pleases Will Cokeley or not.
Mr. Juby,
I have done NOTHING but state the facts. I am asking questions to gain a FULL understanding of the situation. YOU jumped to the conclusion of a cover up in your response. EVERYONE wants to know where the money is going not just Will Cokeley. You name one question that I have asked that is not with merit or should not be answered so that EVERYONE knows what is happening.
I have ALWAYS thought you were one of the most ethical and honest people in this organization. I did not accuse you of lieing or creating a cover-up. However, you DID NOT state that you were paying Kathy $.50 per card in your post that outlined where the $30 was being allocated. I simply pointed that out to you. Call it what you want it was NOT disclosed and I am guessing NO ONE in general membership had any idea that she was paid $5,250 last year.
My goal is to do what is best for Kansas wrestling and that has ALWAYS been our common ground. I don't get paid one cent for my time either. I am never going to ask to get paid and if I feel like my time would be better spent elsewhere that is where I will take my time. The FAIR way to handle this position is to have the work bid on not just arbitrarily hand it over to someone. Each district could share in the work so it wouldn't be such a burden. I just think there are better ideas and I think most will agree that this was decided in a very closed off manner. Yet and still Mike there are some VALID questions that need to be answered and I think you might be the ONLY one that can answer them:
How much would an online competitors card cost if purchased online, directly from USA Wrestling?
If Kansans purchased their cards online, like the majority of states, would any of those funds be funneled back to Kansas?
Why is the online fee $5? Where does that money go?
Why is an AAU card only $12 when purchased online if it costs $5 to perform this action?
Why don't other states want to do exactly what we are doing?
Why doesn't USA Wrestling MAKE us do what the majority are doing?
