You are kidding. And then they sell them?

Only TSSAA programs are sold at the playoff games. They cost $3 with the seller keeping 50 cents and $2.50 goes back to TSSAA.

Just one more reason I can't wait until the book "1001 Things I Hate about TSSAA" hits the bookstores.

The title could be changing Orange....the number continues to go up.

So, a school has to sell 750 playoff programs just to break even? Man, I had no idea.

My question is... does the home team recover the funding, or is that 50 cents shared with the visitors? If so, that brings the total to 1500 programs for both teams to break even, or conversely, the visiting team is just ____ out of luck. :confused:

So, the TSSAA makes 32(teams in the playoffs) times 5(Division I) times $375 = $60,000 plus advertising less the cost of printing the program. Then, they get somebody else to sell the programs and they take another $2.50 per program. Orangeback, I am buying your book!

You'll have to talk to Tank. He's the one writing the book

50 cents goes to the home team selling the programs.

Hey don`t forget about Div.II as well Big Hurt. Plus I wonder how much the TSSAA makes off those programs at the state championship games since it is not played on anyones home field?

....and it's been my observation over the last few years...as a volunteer post season program seller at a "Popular/Unpopular Blount Co. Frequent Playoff Hosting Field" Parents and other family members are the only ones really buying them. We usually run out of them by the third game of the Playoffs anyway. I'd guess that's because most folks already know the players by number, (some by morphology) and are using their money for other stuff like parking, ticket and that slice of pizza...(that pizza seems to last longer than the program paper anyway).
