What does he need the funding for? He didn't exactly explain those five W's.
The team can't spare an empty seat for the school paper for free? Or is someone else doing that now and this poster is in essence in the journalism transfer portal?

There is no bus for the school paper. If you would like, I will link the following Twitter post explaining what I will be doing for the away games and how I will use the money:

I spent 5 years in Virgina, traveling about 50% of my time in the Va Beach, Newport News, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Hampton Roads and Portsmouth areas and I can tell you many people got upset if you called it Nor(folk) or Nor(fork), mostly in a joking way, but it is absolutely pronounced Nor (____) and there are locals whom do not like it called anything else.

Again, not as many as those in Boone, who will correct you, rather vigorously if you pronounce App States name incorrectly. I remember my first few weeks in Wilkesboro, NC , which is about 30 minutes from Boone and I met a guy who worked for Lowes (that is where the old Lowe's Corporate office was) and I said, that is cool, you graduated from App (a-Lach-En) State and he looked at me and said yes, and it is pronounced App (a-latch-en) State, please get it right.

Those in Norfolk, when you pronounce it wrong, will mostly laugh and say it is ____ not Folk or Fork.

How much of that is accent?

Also is it like trying to explain to someone how we don't pronounce the 'n' (the way english does) for Envie, Allons, and Ca c’est bon?

Is that why they went to just "app" to avoid mispronunciation?

Thank you. Seems we can get a seat on the team plane for one guy. Don't some injured players stay back do we really need a radio sideline reporter if there is already a TV sideline reporter? Does the AD need to go, I know Billy bean the gm from the A's didn't go to games

Back in the days some guys would chant this!

Granted it could be a conflict of interest, but does the SID office have any internship slots?

Good example

I believe that was part of it. Too many people were continuing to get it wrong. I think the other part was a branding thing. There is no question, people love the "APP" or "APP State" branding both inside of Boone and out. I bet Fanof71 can touch on this as well. He and I lived in NC about the same time and I can assure you that the App and App State name has helped them build a pretty solid brand.

I would rather not have anyone be kicked off of the plane for me

It's not kicked off if they are not going.

Why does it seem like every wheel always needs to be reinvented. Maybe ask the aforementioned Mr Foote what he did during his student days

Have you thought about reaching out to the other sunbelt school newspaper football beat writers and see what they do, and/or make deal with each other to crash on each other's couches, home team brings visitor to dinner, get the lay of the land at each school, etc etc
