Scenario One I would suggest the new athletic director to inform the booster on how money is allocated within the athletic budget which is essential for operating all programs. I would inquire what his reason for not giving money to the general athletic fund and softball team.

money that they are getting paid right now. I feel that they are playing a game for the entertainment of them and the audience and should not be paid more than the people who protect or have protected our country.
