Sorry - I don't have a spare four hours to read through it.

Seriously, on the surface, it seems impressive. Ed T. Rush certainly has credibility.

It's Ed T. Rush trying to make money. There's nothing wrong with that but I'm not going to read through all that stuff when the real meat and potatoes of what he is saying is only available through the purchase of his product.

It sounds like total spam, except that it's got Ed Rush's name on it. I happen to know one of the officials who gave a testimonial on the site. I will contact that person and ask how the program is. I'll get the response to you hopefully today or tomorrow.

Cool, thanks for the feedback guys! I thought I would check-in with the board on this, before obtaining a new monthly bill. Lord knows my game fees are quite lower in the off-season...

And this bill could be a hefty one.....

It's "only" $400, which is basically the cost of one camp.

I noticed that one of the testimonials came from a David Posner, who states he is a D1 official. I checked on BBstate.com and there's no record on there of a Posner doing any D1 games this year. Typo, I wonder? or maybe he's Bhuck Elics alter ego?

I worked with him once a couple years ago and he is a pretty good official, but I have no idea if he has moved up the ladder or not. It's possible he's on staff somewhere but didn't receive any games.

You've got a PM, Ch1town

I find it interesting that this is included in the Terms of Use:

100% of the royalties that Ed Rush Sr. receives from his work on this project go to non-profit / charitable organizations (e.g. Blow the Whistle on Cancer).

So he does all this for free? Or maybe he's paid in salary AND royalties; and the royalties go to charity? I think it's great that he donates some part of the profits to charity. It does make me curious, though.

I donate all my ref fees - to my pharmacist.

And the pharmacist still doesn't get paid enough.

I'm thinking from the number of "creative" posts Mark makes, that his pharmacist is WAY overpaid for the results he provides

I smell a congressional investigation.

Or, perhaps a poll.
