I'm curious.

Who are the three or four?

I'm sure David Mullins is one.

The others?

Because the money is here. Sponsorship is King.

Every ETSU fan should know the difference in the Ryder and Davis Cup. Apparently, some don't. Dave and Fred need to educate better.

If I'm not playing then truth be told I really don't care too much for golf. I'm glad we're winning and all that, but I would like to believe that ETSU can win by getting American golfers.
And I see the money being here, that's all well and good, but if the golfers are really that much better, then it shouldn't matter where they play, right?
And IMHO Pitt, Dave, Barbie, Wayne and MAYBE JoAnn Paty. I'm sorry but one party a year where the coaches get liquored up and everyone bids on free golf lessons and a trip or two doesn't impress me. I like to party just as much, if not more than most but if it's only raising 50 thousand dollars a year, then something isn't being done right.
Now, as negative as that is and within the same breath, I will say that there are parts of athletics that are doing things REALLY WELL. I think the ingame promotions part is FINALLY heading in the right direction (kudos Scott Carter and Kevin Bostian), and given how well the website looks and parts of the radio broadcasts sound, media relations is DEF. getting the job done. I'm not all negative, I see some things going in the right direction, but not all.
