We need to be organized into a new membership
We need a fund of about 10 million to earn interest that would support a pro tour forever on the interest earned in the previous year.
We need to either to get organized around doing that or we need a very generous very rich person to leave us a bequest.
Pool should be self supporting. I.E. The people of pool could support Pool if they were organized to do so, but would they?
If the right guy were behind it a new member organization could be set up and from that a lot of things could grow.
Then the question would be? What to support? Should we support Pro Pool or should we support the installation of Pool Rooms not bars?
If the children aren't exposed to Pool then Pool is going to continue just like it is forever. We are living in the result of the Pool Rooms in small towns
closing their doors. Those Pool Rooms need a new updated business model and they don't need a hundred thousand dollars of debt to put one in.

Just finished my latest read of "Willie Game", book about Willie Mosconi, IMHO he was for many year a great ambassador of the game, on the payroll of Brunswick billiards, and did some thing to HELO with the games image.
Yes I loved the movie Hustler & Color of Money but they both show the bad side of P;oil and did not do much image enhancement for the game.
IMHO if Pool in the USA is ever to become a big time sport, the people doing the building be it ACA, BAC, or who ever need another Willie Mosconi to help build the image of the sport, or game.
Anyone agree?
Anyone disagree, and if so why?
