Good enough for me. No further questions. Time to move on.

I'm assuming there's no visitor bench, either, correct? SLU field hockey players are used to this kind of nonsense but I do wonder about the visiting teams that have to deal with it for a couple days when they come to town. "Last time we came here we played a half hour away on a flood plain between a casino and small airport. Now we're on campus and there's nowhere to sit..."

This is not a gotcha moment for you, @dennis_w @BIG BILL FAN @DOC. I don't need to go back and edit my post. I was obviously saying that the people who paid $500 for the baseball dinner (and possible gave more) would feel like their donations were stolen by the AD when he fired the coach the next day. I would not need to explain this any further to my 9-year-old. This is what happens when I break my own rule and read the posts of people on my ignore list because they reply to me. That's my only mistake.

I'm not even sure what you're arguing.

(And yes, I'm aware that they would've had to pay the tab and appearance fee(s). But I'm also guessing some money was raised on top of the $500 attendance price.)

Why would they pony up now? They thought the head coach of 18 years would use a new $35,000 for his program. Now it looks like the AD just stole it.

It was $500/person with a capacity of 70 people. The event sold out. Not sure if any wrote checks above and beyond that amount, but I'm guessing some did. I can't imagine anyone who attended and gave money to the program would be thrilled with the coach who organized the event being fired the next day. So your answer is: A minimum of $35,000.

One more time!

I don't think Iowa was playing the A team that day.

Less than 10 minutes from Bellarmine to the Louisville field hockey facility. Bellarmine wasn't even D-I until recently. I'm not totally surprised that they don't have their own field.

You're right. They have a good shot against the #13 team in the nation.

3 in a row! Unfortunately it will not be 4 in a row, with the next game at St. Joe's.

We finally got an official announcement about a SLU coaching change on the diamond. Oh wait.
