These are only my personal opinions, not that of
Texas A&M or any other organization.
If you
have any suggestions on how to get corporate money, I
am all ears. I have tried over the past 3 years and
have not been successful.
What is done, is
done, TRUE. Hopefully the necessary steps have been
taken avoid future mistakes.
The ball is really
in Chip's court in regard to a unified national. I
think that NAQT and PACE try their hardest to do what
they can. I think the first step towards a better high
school circuit, would be for Chip to make his costs
manageable, in turn allowing schools access to more
tournaments during the summer.
Unfortunately I hear
often of teams choosing Chip over NAQT or teams
choosing only Chip due to lack of funds. I only suspect
the same is true for PACE. In my opinion given equal
opportunity and choice then the best tournament would
eventual survive to become that illusive unified national.
If I may inquire, how did you become a Chip staffer.
How much do you get paid? Who are you for that
matter? Where are you from?
