If it was not about the kids then it would not be about the money. At HCHS you have great facilities but it is so far out of the way you don't get the casual fan which is where the money is located. I have not missed a region game in many years including the year at HCHS, but it did not have the luster of the arena in Corbin. It is much easier on the fans with the concourse and other amenities.

You can throw the kids up all you want but without substantial money there would be nothing for the kids, not uniforms, not coaches, no travel, no officials, etc.

Remember Love may make the world go 'round but money is the axis that it spins on......

You are correct Dietpepsidrinker I remember when you had to leave the gym after the first game go out in the cold and repay to get in the next game. The arena offers good parking and great setting and offers small schools the opportunity to host the region. I know some teams complain that they don't like playing on that court, but the bottom line both teams are playing on the same court and to be a champion you must adjust for the next court Rupp Arena.
