Good way to raise some money for Athletics because of the struggles over the past year

I like it! I also like partnering with Ingles. Great local company that has really stepped up to support WCU over the years.

I also think we need to partner more with Harrah’s in Cherokee. It is a legal and regulated business and they have deep pockets.

Like FLCAT’s idea partnering with Harrah’s - maybe for a new football pressbox. Thought at one time they were interested.

It’s a no brainer to partner with Harrahs. I have never heard anyone come out against it. Has anyone ever heard anyone on the BOT or admin say no?
I fixed it. - Admin

One of the golden rules.... no politics, no religion - and certainly not bashing religion!!!!!! Sorry did not mean to bash anyone’s religion or hurt anyone’s feelings. I guess all I can say is that gambling is legal on the Cherokee reservation and that partnering with Harrah’s is no different than partnering with Ingles or any other legitimate American business. I would hope that most thinking people can keep their religion out of politics as separation of church and state is part of the Constitution and the American fabric. So no matter what I believe or was taught was right or wrong does not give me any right to impose what I believe on any State organization including WCU just because I am a steward of WCU. Imposing what I believe is just plain un-American based on the Constitution. That applies to everyone including me. Honestly though, I do not believe we have anyone on the BOT or the administration that would block Harrahs from donating a building or substantial funds to WCU. Also, Western not taking money from Harrahs is like Western coming out against the Eastern Band of Cherokee because the casino benefits that tribe. We would never do that.
