The teams are forced, rather reduced, to the idea of becoming salesmen and women for their sport. The problem is not only due to the lack of money but also to the skyrocketing prices of equipment, uniforms, travel and even tuition.

The Thunderbird Athletic Club generates approximately $30,000 a year, a substantial amount, but when compared with Weber State Colleges $350,000 a year, its chicken feed. Of course Ogden is bigger than Cedar City, but you still have to hand it to SUSCs booster club. Its doing extremely well considering its size. Seven years ago Weber State raised only $35,000 a year. With e booster coordinator to direct all that money they hired a g activities; the results are now amazing. Keeping this in mind, SUSC is now making strides to do the same. Although we e booster coordinator we do have several dont yet have a people working very hard at improving athletics and increasing funding. There are several points to be made. Instead of our coaches and athletes slinging hot dogs and raffle tickets, they could be working out and learning. Less time raising money means more time for practice. More time for practice means more points on the scoreboard. This also applies to the athletes as students in their academic endeavors. In the meantime, the extra work must, by virtue of SUSCs desire to compete, go on. Southern Utah State shows great promise for athletic excellence but pardon the teams if they lose once in a while. They dont have the money, the scholarships or coaches to win all the time. But, that day is coming, thanks to the efforts of the Thunderbird Athletic Club, alumni, community members, the coaches and players themselves.
