Are you worried about all those millions in tax dollars going to pay off lawsuits at Fresno State? It shouldn't happen. Fresno State needs to raise money in some way other than using tax dollars to pay this off. It's nice that we can laugh through our tears on these cases, when competent leadership from the university could allow us to use this money for a much better cause -- educating students, for example. One of our readers, Curtis Thornton, came up with these ideas.
Top 10 fundraisers John Welty is having to raise money to pay for the discrimination settlements.
10. Sell raffle tickets to shave off Coach Pat Hill's Fu-Man-Chu.
9. Car wash starring Welty and male AD employees in short shorts.
8, "10k fun run" -- to save my job!
7. Yard sale to get rid of all that dirty laundry etc.
6. Sell a calendar featuring the old "TimeOut."
5. Bulldog bake sale.
4. Charge "alcohol consumption fee" for luxury boxes at Bulldog Stadium.
3. Welty will stand at a busy intersection with a piece of cardboard that
says "Will work for settlement money, "GOD-BLESS."
2. Convert Save Mart Center into haunted house.
1. Sell tickets at home football games to "whack" the new "TimeOut."
The editorial board weighed in earlier on the Vivas verdict. Here were our ideas for
ways Fresno State can raise money to pay Lindy Vivas verdict:
10. Make Chestnut Avenue a toll road -- if it's ever reopened.
9. Turn Smittcamp Alumni House into card room.
8. Have John Welty open lemonade stand at Shaw and Cedar avenues.
7. Turn University House in Fig Garden into strip club.
6. Open gender-equity institute at Campus Pointe -- with drive-through lane.
5. Sell copies of "I Did It My Way" by Welty -- with autographed copies half price.
4. Athletic Department can sell medicinal marijuana.
3. Start charging for academic papers prepared for athletes.
2. Auction Athletic Department's collection of fine samurai swords on E-bay.
1. Put Scott Johnson in a dunk tank.
I like number 9 we need more card rooms up north........
All of the ideas for fundraising still leave us the people paying for it. I say put liens on all bank accounts and properties owned by the slime bags that did the offenses like Welty and Johnson. They will never learn a lesson if they don't get hit in the wallet. People that disrespect women don't change. Weltys time is up he needs to be fired before the clock strikes 12 am today
First guess-all you smarty pants know all the facts and have heard all the testimony.Armchair judges relying on the Bee.Second guess-Fresno State only hires virtuous females.
