This thread could also be titled: "Attention anyone who is thinking of spending money on pool." I could think of several wealthy individuals/groups over the last several years that have blown a ton of money on a one and done tournament or ill fated tour that did nothing for pool. They have spent a fortune in the name of "promoting pool".
The next time someone has a great idea for a tournament, tour or please you should consider all the recent flops. Why not support an effort like Earl Munson's High School program in Dallas? This has proven to be a financially sustainable program that has brought numerous young people in to the game. If there were more programs like this pool would have a chance to grow.
