Fargo cost - solution to money issue

One of the TWF’s board members and a prominent booster of wrestling in TN have gone to Bowers made him an offer.

Let all of the kids, coaches and parents make their own travel arrangements like they have for past 20 years,  Keep the cost to $500 per kid, get the kids a real gear package that includes shirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, singlets, shorts, let the RTC SOUTH coaches and athletes run the Fargo camp; and training of coaches, officials, and athletes statewide, let all of the coaches and kids that want to go to Fargo go.    Allow for a Juniors coordinator and a Cadet coordinator that will manage all of the kids and coaches the entire time at Fargo so that Bowers can concentrates on his USA meetings.

This wrestling booster and TWF Board member have agreed to donate whatever money to the TWF that is needed to cover the shortfall from this trip. 

So a real solution that solves the TWF’s money issue has been presented to Bowers, one that will unify and satisfy all of the parents and kids that want to go to Fargo this year.  

The question is whether or not Bowers will accept it.

Sounds like a great idea and I hope it works, but my bet is that he won't go for it. 

It is important to understand that a lot of what drives Bowers is to be perceived as  important.  He wants to be seen as being in charge and in control.  It makes him feel like he is somebody if he thinks he is getting accolades for something that kids are actually accomplishing (I know, weird and sad right). 

And yes, before anyone gets their panties in a wad, these things have come out of his mouth.  It is not hearsay or slander.

Sounds to good to be true. What is the current cost to attend Fargo this year?

I would think that should be addressed so kids and their families can make plans to attend state/SE regionals. If it’s not affordable, doesn’t make much sense to attend the required tournaments for Fargo.

Any board members please feel free to elaborate on the current cost of Fargo?

Not a board member but there was a long thread about it a few weeks ago. The current cost is $1500

If this is true (I cannot verify) and does not happen the whole board should be voted out immediately.  It's all about making things as affordable as possible while providing opportunities for the kids.

I can verify that it is true. You are absolutely right if the board allows for this not to happen they all need to go.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..

    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
