Check to see how many of the principals are stealing like they are in Detroit.
I do some side work with a high school friend of mine. I do sales for this company called 5 Star Sports. We provide tickets and posters and other spirit items for high schools and small colleges. And the tickets we provide and really professional. We’ll put live action photos of the players on the tickets and do individual games for both boys and girls basketball and football....and get this, they’re free. They’re really classy tickets. We get the advertisers to pay for them. And with the redemption they’re going to get, they line up to do it. We can do it depending on the amount of tickets between $0.04.5 to $0.05.5 per ticket. We can number them so they can figure out how many they’ve sold. Now we have had some school AD’s who don’t want anything to do with these tickets. What they’d rather do is use cheap generic tickets, stamps or no tickets at all. What I’ve been finding out is, some of these school AD’s have a teacher or wife collecting the money, which is cash and pocketing a lot of the proceeds. One new AD from a Chicago Public school, told me the old AD was fired last year for skimming 1000 tickets a game at $5.00 a pop for each home football game, which is 5 games a season. Comes out to $25,000 a season and had been doing it for at least 5 years that they know of. That’s $125,000 over 5 years. And that was just for football. They don’t know how much he made from the basketball seasons.
