The sharp sound of a double whistle, time to set the field. It was a play Will had initiated in practice so much it was committed to memory... The overcast sky and light mist of rain added a 'do or die' element to the moment. 'This is gonna work, I feel it', thought Will... now, it was time to run it for a 'walk-off' goal. At the sound of the whistle, Will jab steps at his defender and dodges left. Jack sets the off ball screen as Will threads the needle with a dime of a pass that finds Kellen slicing through the Defense. Catch... shot... goal! What a beauty of a finish and the game winner! What a comeback! Still alive... 'We're making history this year' was the only thought on Kellen's mind as the bench rushed towards them to celebrate.
For many a college team, the battle is not just on the field of play, but also on the balance sheet. The cost to operate an effective college athletics program varies widely year to year. Big recruiting years... new program additions... need for replacement equipment... costs add up.
