I was in a great situation here and wasn't about to give up a great program for something that I didn't think that we could get done. Looking at the facilities they have and I've visited with a lot of people and I know there's a lot of talent right now in the younger classes but I'm not going to give up on those older classes.

We say use a program that is appropriate for the particular situation.

This is not your father's Apollo program.

This is a program where the kids try to get better. As the players get better, so does the program.

They could establish forward stocking locations, and treat these products much the same as service parts. Companies in the high-tech sector, for example, set up service parts logistics processes to get customers up and running within four hours if computers go down. Medical parts manufacturers could design the same kind of network to handle their products.

I guess when I sign the contract it's a done deal. The verbal commitment has been made from me to them and from them to me. We've already notified our school here that we won't be coming back next year.
