Monday afternoon, Hawaii athletic director Ben Jay dropped the bombshell: "there's a very real possibility of football going away."
This MUST NOT HAPPEN!
What's the most American way ever to raise funds, in order to make sure the Hawaii football program does not go away? If this guy can raise $55,000 for potato salad, it should be a breeze to raise enough funds to make sure the Hawaii football program operates in the black.
Since most people like to get something in return for spending money for a cause -- well, unless you are good-doer and all -- we will provide our backers with one-of-a-kind Hawaii football-themed items for donating money to save the Warriors football program.
Now onto what the backers will get for helping keep Hawaii football around forever.
