But things have changed drastically as a for profit. Robin didn't pay out any scholarships, so they are no longer a cost to her. She receives money from: ticket sales from all the weeks activities, prelims and finals tickets, pageant streaming sales, program book ad sales, a cut of state entry fees, all the national entry fees, a cut of the AHA fundraising kickbacks from Henri's, kickbacks from Rebel, all the extraneous expenses she asks of the states throughout the year, and MA merch profits. Her costs are staff, setting/ printing the program book, and event site rental and staging. The states and girls/parents are funding the program entirely and in return they get to compete for Miss America. -- Guru Message Board

In reply to: 's message, "This is the stupidest summary I've ever read. MAO will NEVER be a cash cow. It's not a business model that will do anything but break even, at least for the foreseeable future. This is not at all what she meant when she said MAO would have enough money for 100 years.. She was referring to having 'ol Glenn as the financier/banker and the $100 was to transfer the assets. I've done that before with a company asset transfer. Go take a business class and touch grass." on 21:14:54 09/03/24 Tue
