I read that there is apparently a campaign to raise money to send the Hoop Troop to Vegas.....is this true?

Yes. Received a donation request in the mail a couple of weeks ago.
True. Anyone wanting to help send the Troop in support of the Lady Techsters can send donations to the La Tech Foundation. Whether donations are done online or via mail, designate the contribution as Hoop Troop - WAC Tournament.
We need the Hoop Troop at the tournament for all sorts of reasons ...
1. Why in the hell does Tech not plan (dedicate) money for this?
2. If you are going to have a worthy fundraiser, which this is, make a general request or plea to all alumni & then keep them updated on how much is needed & how much is collected. Learn how to fundraise!
If you give alumni & friends the info & keep them updated then many will be happy to give. People don't like to be hit at the last minute (secretive). BBB is a great forum to help the university garner any needed support but the U must do its job as well. And yes I am calling out Robkin.
Unfortunately the Admin. doesn't like nor listen to me nor feel the need to be held accountable to us "little people." That's a shame but that is exactly how we are treated. I will donate $100.00 if Robkin, BVD or especially Spoon asks & agrees to keep all of us updated on the goal & progress. I'm waiting.
Will the Hoop Troop be making the trip?
Yes, the Hoop Troop will be going to the W A C tourny. They are such an integral part of the game experience. Good for the donors & the administration.
Tell them to hit up the 2-for-1 wells at O'Sheas before the game! Its a good year on the scotch.
Awesome!
You guys have no idea what it means to the band members when they get to travel. This is a VERY big deal for them.
