‘The University of Idaho spirit squad raised $1250 to be able to attend the Western Athletic Conference tournament.’
Wow - that is a pathetically low dollar amount. They should have tried a bake sale or a raffle or lap dances or maybe a car wash. Oh well - Idaho was bumped quickly so they should be able to make it back home on their limited funds.
