I find it hard to believe that this move was percipitated by some new found sense of morality. My guess is that it was solely a financial decision, possibly fearing that the Coaches' Corner association would adversely impact their new auction venture.

Jay....I think it was pretty evident that it would affect their auction venture by the sheer number of people here that said they would not bid in their auction SOLELY because they had Coach's Corner in their magazine. As someone said earlier, they need to go to an every other week format and, at that point, they might hit 50-60 pages and have a little more push.

Of course, you're correct. There was no moral epiphany here, just a financial one.

I think this just signals that the magazine was going down even with the Coach's Corner ad $$$'s. It's a last gasp effort to see if people will come back.
