BS is BS

Is he really that much of a d*ck that none of his big wig parents will help him?

As a BS parent of several years, I would say that the general attitude amongst parents is they really like the program and philosophy (which I can credit MK) and they LOVE the coaches (at least most of them). As far as MK is concerned, the sentiments have ranged from indifference to hatred. I've not met a single parent who loves MK (or loves interacting with him). Even some of the coaches roll their eyes when MK's name comes up. They definitely respect him but I don't get the sense they really love him as a leader. No program is just one guy. At the same time, as the face of BS, it's his job to build relationships and be a positive ambassador. I hate that the club is coming hat in hand for money to pay for the new complex when there is so much "easy money" in FC that Mickey can easily tap into.

His coaches do more than roll their eyes when his name comes up

We are at Beachside, we have not been asked for donations to build the new facility. We are mailed requests to donate to a scholarship fund, but that's something altogether different.

We are at BS as well. At the last meeting, they announced that we hired a fundraising firm/consultant. The capital campaign has not yet started. Initial work will be funded via balance sheet and some type of debt instrument. Once the campaign starts, I fully expect to get calls, emails, & letters.

Wow, mk has been burning bridges for years with parents. Now he's going to ask for big donations to pay for his facility? Chutzpah.

Building that kind of facility takes serious money. BS isn't that big a club so I'm not sure how they pay for it?. I have no issue giving for scholarships to help families out. I don't need that facility.
