Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2007 7:43 pm Post subject: Amarillo College Athletic Program
In our poll question 96 percent of the people who voted said they would like to see an athletic program at Amarillo College. AC is one of the biggest junior colleges in Texas and one of the only JC's that does not have athletics. I know they used to have a basketball program.. but I would love to hear what some of you have to say about what you would like to see there.. and also hear your opinion if you don't think athletics should be present at AC...

Sure, such a program could pay for itself it was successful but that is a big if. It will do little to attract new students or maintain students. Amarillo College did the right thing in dropping it. If you want a local college/university sports program to support we have WT. Offensive? Report this post. lance

Hmmm....last year WT mens was 11-1 in conference (won its division) and 26-7 overall. I think women did even better. You have got to be kidding if you think JUCO-level basketball would be better.
WT also won four conference championships last year.
So what is 'rather poor' about WT? Offensive? Report this post. Schlepporello1

True. All of the facitilties that AC used to have which were dedicated to sports have now been given new duties. You'd have to hire staff, build new gyms, get the training equipment................
