It is definately not about bowlers. The USBC is about money. Have any over you heard that the thought is to only allow a ring ONCE per bowler for life time? Meaning, shoot 300 you get one ring. NOT one ring per year as it is now, but ONE ring PERIOD.
If someone starts something, gets the buzz going and the USBC sees that the bowlers are not going to put up with things simply being decided without voicing their opinions then maybe they would atleast listen. If they see that it could impact their WALLETS I am sure they would do something.
