The title of this post is absolutely 100% correct. Not all schools are the same when comparing the help and assistance in covering athletic events which the Athletic Director is responsible for. Using Solon and Mark McGuire as an example, he is basically the only person covering the athletic events. During the football and basketball games, he has a facility manager to assist along with others from the community and the school for support. But for the other sporting events, he is operating solo. At a future fellow league member school, the Athletic Director has six facility managers to assist him in the efforts to cover as many athletic events as possible. Still another school which is of comparable size, the Athletic Department has a full time Athletic Director, a full time Assistant Athletic Director and six faculty managers that receive one period off during the school day to assist in the covering of the respective athletic events. This situation is quite noticeable due to the fact that Solon has the same amount of athletic teams as compared to their league counterparts but with a significantly smaller support staff to cover these events. Perhaps it is time to make the administration aware of this shortcoming in staffing.
