  Glad to hear it, that was a cheapskate move. Cheerleaders get paid next to nothing as it is.

  Salaries are probably the cheapest part of the squad, (maybe even less than pompoms?). Travel and lodging could add up though.

  I played College football a hundred years ago and when I ran onto the field I’d ask myself what motivated cheerleaders, why would they bother. Then because I was asking questions like that I’d get ran over.

  I remember one time when they had tryouts for cheerleaders, and they all seemed to have a dance background. So maybe this is a way of doing something like that while earning a living in a more mainstream career.

  Cheerleaders get shown in movies as a secondary role, but I suspect they themselves think of themselves in a different fashion. And maybe they just have fun, which is always a reason to do something.

  The cheerleaders don’t travel to games, not regular season ones anyway.

  Thanks @dwgs, I didn’t know, (you can tell how much football I watch…)
