"With all due respect Mr. Mann, you speak from a lack of knowledge.

The KSHSAA and Mr. Bowden were offered a two year contract by the Kansas Coliseum prior to the 2006 tournament which the KSHSAA and Mr. Bowden turned down, agreeing to a one year contract which expired in 2007."

My statement was that I believed Mr. Bowden had exhausted the possibilities before him. And will all due respect, Mr. Salyer, hindsight is always 20-20.
