  well.....i'm gonna make scott go with me in 2015 to vegas and we will hijack DD and TXBO and make our own hangover movie while we give some management advice.... What about RWR ?
If I provided double his funds can I come ????? :D:D:D:D

Wow, 23 pages and I read the whole thing. Quick summary:
*I think the East coast for the NFR is about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard
*And those of you that compare an 8 second ride or a 14 second run to your 40 hour week as a comparison for money, really? That is such a
naĂŻve statement, those folks going to the finals probably do closer to 140 hour weeks, so divide that by your 40 hour weekly salary and see
what you get.....
*Would love to see it stay in Vegas. For those of you that think there's nothing to do family wise, we usually go on hikes when we're there each
year, there are some absolutely wonderful parks and hiking areas within an hour or so drive that are beautiful. Went to Zion in Utah this year
*Regardless of where we go, I don't think you can beat hotel and food prices in Vegas, not in FL, not in DFW and not in OKC
*My biggest concern is that losing Pro Rodeo as we know it. Makes me sad to think about it, so I hope it can all work for the contestants and
the fans
so, I'll be staying tuned to the board and the news waves over the next months.....hope it's ultimately good news for all
I guess your not familiar with the history of rodeo and Madison square garden? |

sassy&tessa - 2013-12-18 8:26 AM I guess my hang up with the wage is the fact that they still have to pay for gas, maintenance on rigs, meals for them and their horses, and entries. I bet if you went back and took that $60k that Jane Melby made, looked at the total number of rodeos and added up those costs only, she is breaking even or losing money at best.
Shoot, I know of girls down here that don't rodeo because they can't afford to haul all over the country. The ONLY way girls are doing it is by sponsor money or someone fronting some of those costs.Â
That's where I have an issue. I agree wtih karen-some of these rodeos need to fork up some more dough.  BUT, I also think that the industry needs to come together to get those bigger sponsors coming in. If we want to treat these guys like superstars like we see them in our heads, they need to be compensated. This also goes back to my argument that you cannot compare them to pro sports guys because they aren't. It is two completely different worlds.
BUT, if the rodeo world is going to survive and thrive, then we have to support the contestants more than what is being done right now.Â
So the million dollar guestion..... How do those rodeos come up with more money?? How much should the local business owners and towns cough up? How many rodeos do we see go away because of lack of sponsors.
karen
You do realize that the number of sanctioned prca rodeos and the amount of prize money offered is up, don't you? |

I live in Texas. And sure I would like to see it in Dallas, but do I think Orlando would be the end of the NFR and rodeo as we know it? Heck no! I think there is a strong chance it could actually help grow the sport! Most of the argument on here against the move seem to be from folks who just like going to Vegas! I like it to, I've been many times. But Orlando is nice to. And I would still go there to see the NFR. I like rodeo, so I'm sure if they moved the NFR to Minot ND I would make that trip to at some point. And I bet alot of others who actually ATTEND the rodeo would to. |
