D4 goes corporate

Unfortunately the D4 Women's Arena Softball season was cancelled due to environmental concerns at Sam Drucker Arena. The Floodwaters never receded at Hank Kimball Field and after a colony of snail darters were found nesting near the right field line. The entire area was considered a historic wetland and Sam Drucker Arena fell within the boundaries that were annexed for preservation. No need to fear, sure D4 had to dump some women's sports that nobody cared about, but nobody cared about it.

Mens hoops will go forward and D4, as well as the LNCUTMV Conference, will survive as a deal has just been signed to build the new "Sam Drucker Court at Haney Automotive Fieldhouse". Details have not been released as of this time but the "New House" is expected to seat approximately 75-80 people. (Not including luxury suites). Several thousand dollars have been committed to this project and it is even rumored that cuspidors will be installed in the general seating areas. Whether they will be used or not, no one knows.

The catering contract for "Sam Drucker Court at Haney Automotive Fieldhouse" has been awarded to the Lisa Douglas Culinary Institute; so the normal concessions may change somewhat. Barbecued Chicken in Aluminum Foil and Moon Pies will still be available. LDCI is a provisional member and they will compete as soon as D4 women's athletics have a following.

D4 and the LNCUTMV Conference have always shunned corporate involvement in any of their concerns but since it was Haney Automotive that came to the table; it is nice to see that our "dealings" will be kept local. Cock Fighting remains a Club Sport unfortunately but an "exhibition tournament" is scheduled somewhere in Central America, or Kentucky. Both places are third world countries so nobody will care.
