My reason for drawing attention to this webcast is that it’s a chance to hear what Tom Kutscher is saying directly. It contradicts many of the 3rd hand interpretations of what I’ve heard that he has said.
The significant points for us, as I heard it, were: 1) he’s not out for world dominance, 2) he’s open to Junior programs where it makes sense, 3) his idea is to assist regional programs, not run them, and 4) he emphasized the term “cost effectively”. That attitude is different than the old SKUSA.
Any sane business looks at outsourcing when it makes financial sense. My own conclusion is let’s get details and prices, and see if it fits our needs.
I certainly agree that we have the best region in the country. If I didn’t think so, I wouldn’t spend a huge chunk of my discretional time putting us on the national map.
Mike, your figures are a bit off, as the CSC also gets $10/entry at each race. You can redo the math from there. I don’t have a problem with that either.
I also wonder who in Colorado Mr. Kutscher is referring to :idn: .
