You can say there is not enough talent from the other county teams to compete in the PCB and you are probably right. How about the teams Pikeville and Belfry have played the last 2 years? I guess Harrison, Tellico TN, Powell were just loaded with talent. But I am sure the other Pike County teams will be blamed for not having the top teams in the state in the PCB. So other teams fans never attend these games or are they allowed a pass at the gate....they pay $7 just like Pikeville fans do.

It has dropped some in stature BECAUSE we allowed the other county teams to play. Cheapened the attraction. Very hard to find enough teams with open dates to play, and they figure the payout is not worth the trip. Go back to just two marquee games, it will be EASY to attract top shelf teams back here again. The PCB name still has some cachet and hasn't been totally ruined yet, but on the verge of it.

Like I said, free money is just that. It is given without being earned. You are trying to confuse the issue or don't understand the concept. I will make it simple for you:

1) Do nothing. Don't play, work the concession stand, etc.

2) Committee puts together games, people come, pay their way in, watch the game.

3) Committee gives your school money.

That is the way it used to be. Sweetest deal possible for the other county schools.

That, my friend, is the concept of free money. If you still can't grasp the "See Spot Run" version of it, I suggest you pick a different fight or argument to try and defend.
