.."Athletic director Bill Faflick said if he had to cut 25 percent of his $1.5 million budget, 12 sports would be eliminated and several others scaled back, eliminating opportunities for 1,843 students to compete."

"At high schools, the remaining sports would be football, soccer, volleyball, bowling, basketball and track and field."..

leave bowling? are you kidding? and soccer isnt much better either, but we dont play soccer in northwest kansas either.

as i understand it (and i maybe be mistaken)schools recieve funding based upon enrollment, or certain amount of dollars per student. now if 1800+ kids were to move out or leave the district, i'd guess they would have thier perverbal cut wouldnt they? makes no sense does it? perhaps its a bluff by the school district to try to relieve some of the pressure put on them, to get the parents all riled up to so they will call legislators to get the funding the school district needs to continue?

how is your bowling arm? can you pick up that 7-10 split? are beer, cigars, and peanuts going to be part of the curriculum?
