Why so Nasty?<BR/><BR/>Someone is just asking some questions about the financial aspect of these games.<BR/>Why can't they get some reasonable answers to valid questions? <BR/>Is there a financial gain for North High School for hosting a WIAA game?<BR/>No one is asking if sports are important or if it would be wiser to host the games in our own facilities. <BR/>If the OASD asks taxpayers for millions to fund new schools and facilities; residents have a right to know if the sports program is funneling some revenue back to the<BR/>system programs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818120104790188682.post-41289540048903882972009-03-13T15:11:00.000-05:002009-03-13T15:11:00.000-05:00The games being played at Kolf tonight and tomorro...The games being played at Kolf tonight and tomorrow are WIAA tournament games, hosted by Oshkosh North. How that impacts the OASD, I don't know - but people should know that this weekend's Boys Division 1 sectional games are being played not only at Kolf, but also the Al McGuire Center (hosted by Germantown & Arrowhead), the Brown County Arena (hosted by Pulaski), and predetermined various high schools (based on factors concerning the facility, not which schools are actually playing).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818120104790188682.post-30561799727566131542009-03-13T14:18:00.000-05:002009-03-13T14:18:00.000-05:00Yes, it definitely would be far cheaper for each h...Yes, it definitely would be far cheaper for each high school to build its own sports facilities, rather than piggy-backing with another instition.

With programs being cut maybe its time to clarify the sports funding picture... <BR/>How much does the OASD actually pay UWO yearly beyond the $40,000 for renting the stadium and the additional 1.5M for renovations?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818120104790188682.post-89708215658960139362009-03-13T09:44:00.000-05:002009-03-13T09:44:00.000-05:00Big crowds will pack the Kolf Sports Center tonigh...Big crowds will pack the Kolf Sports Center tonight and tomorrow for High Schools sport action.<BR/><BR/>Can anyone tell us,<BR/>Does a portion of attendance money go to the OASD?
