Brandy and I got together late that same afternoon, to talk about the Kaps' idea. The money sounded good, but their ideas were way over the line. We agreed to talk briefly with a few of our sorority sisters that evening, and we'd meet for a late breakfast the next day. Her boyfriend had to work from Noon until 9 P.M., so we agreed to meet at their apartment.

I had a date that Saturday night, as did Barb and Rox, but we chatted briefly before we all headed out. The most significant comment I heard from the two of them was they could be interested, but what in hell would incent any of the girls to risk getting their bikini's torn off and destroyed, followed by getting shaved and written on. They weren't too stoked on the mud idea either. I forgot to tell them about the nipple clamps and clit clips, or the collective nudity. They thought the money sounded OK, but after thinking about the money all afternoon, I didn't.

As I reached for the doorbell Sunday morning, Brandy's boyfriend opened the door, on his way to work. We exchanged greetings, and he was gone.

The first thing Brandy asked, as soon as the door was closed and locked was: "Did you tell your boyfriend about this idea last night?"

"Hell, no; did you?"

"No. He'll kill me when he hears about it."

"That will be one of the bigger problems we have to work out."

We were both probably going to have to wrestle. College volleyball was based on quickness, balance and strong legs. Our sororities would look to us to do our share. Neither of us was willing to do so under the Kaps' plan. We simply refused to risk being naked for four consecutive Saturday nights, shaved bare, handcuffed together, wearing clit clips and nipple rings. Fifteen of the sixteen wrestlers were going to end up that way.

We also decided it would be too difficult to get all the wrestlers we'd need if everyone but the champion was going to be shaved and marked with indelible laundry marker. We had to come up with a way that only the worst of the worst had to pay that price.

Our sisters were going to be unwilling to walk around naked for four Saturday nights either. We weren't exactly clear what the Kaps had in mind for the fifth weekend, but we didn't think we'd like it. Not for a share of the $7,500 the Kaps thought they could raise, anyway. They'd need another zero on the end.

For the show they were getting, we also didn't think they should get half the net, and leave us to split up the other half. Promoters simply don't get half the take. We were willing to let them have a quarter share, but we decided to see if we could get them to let us have ninety percent.

We also couldn't see five weeks of exhibitionism. We decided to have the winners of the first matches wrestle in the quarterfinals the same night, and to have the semi-finals and final a week later, with the party -- which we initially called the orgy -- on the third weekend.

Since the Kaps wanted to see the girls strip each other, we decided that the second and third rounds of each match would begin with the girls dressed as the previous round ended. The wrestler wearing the most garments would always begin in the top position. In the unlikely event that both girls ripped off a garment simultaneously, or at any other time when both girls wore the same number of garments, they would begin from a standing position, unless they broke for safety reasons, in which case the wrestler in control when they broke would begin on top. The second round ended when one girl was naked.

Again, since the boys wanted to see the girls humiliated, we decided no match could end until a naked girl submitted. After talking about it, we decided that if a girl didn't give up, pinning her naked, flat on her back for thirty seconds would count as a submission. We didn't mean that pinning her required her shoulders to be down continuously, just that she be naked, controlled, and on her back, unable to escape, for thirty seconds.

I brought up Barb's dislike for the mud part.

"At first, I didn't like it either," Brandy said. "But mud might be a softer thing to fall into than the trampled grass in the Kap's back yard."

"True, and maybe it will hide, or at least mask, some body parts we don't go around showing every day," I added.

So we left the mud part in.

If a garment came loose, but didn't come off, it could not be pulled back into place, either while wrestling or during the rest period between the rounds. Loosened garments either stayed where they were, or had to be removed, as if the opponent had taken it off.

We also decided no girl should know whom she would wrestle until immediately before her match, and we decided each sorority would only put up six wrestlers. Those six names would be on 3 x 5 cards, along with two blank cards. We'd use different color cards for each sorority. Before each match, one card would be drawn, then cards would be drawn until one came up for the other sorority. The girls drawn would come immediately onto the mat, and the match would begin. If a blank card was drawn, all the noncombatant's names would be on another set of cards; one of those cards would be drawn, and that girl was suddenly a combatant! After the first set of matches, all the surviving wrestler's names went into the same hat, and the first two cards would wrestle, so two girls from the same sorority could wrestle each other in the quarterfinals and beyond. The last two remaining wrestlers, certainly in the quarterfinals and after would know their opponent more than a minute in advance.

So how to we convince the girls to wrestle?" was the question Brandy posed.

"Simple, with the Great American Incentive Plan."

"What's that, sex?"

I laughed. "No, money."

"They are already offering us fifteen grand."

"I'm not talking about the houses' share of the cash. I propose that the girls get paid. Their payments should come out as an expense of the event, before the profit is allocated."

We worked out our incentives thusly: Since their bikinis could be damaged, we wanted to pay the first match losers enough to replace their suits, and have some token folding money left. Since even in victory, a suit could be damaged, we needed to provide an incentive to participate and a stipend for every girl to replace her suit every match. We proposed to pay:

$100 to every first round loser,

$225 to every first round winner,

$375 to every second round winner,

$550 to both third round winners, and

$750 to the champion.

Since pretty good bikinis were less than fifty bucks, we thought we could recruit enough girls to fill all the spots. Two girls were going to walk away with $600, one would get $1,150, and the champion was going to make $1,900. We thought there was enough cash on the table to make everyone work hard to win. The problem was we were going to add nearly six thousand bucks to the expenses, and we were going to cut the ticket sales by eliminating two weeks of wrestling. Now we had to find a way to push up the income.

The first step, we decided, was to really build up the raffle sales. They only budgeted five hundred dollars for raffle ticket sales. We thought we could get ten times that much out of a raffle. But we had to make winning raffle tickets worthwhile.

We brainstormed about what the boys would want to win. The first thing we decided was we were not going to raffle off sex or sexual favors. THAT was simply not going to happen!

So what could happen?

If we made all the Deltas, Sigs and Kaps pay admission, even at a reduced rate, we could make all the bikini-clad girls sign in. A couple of the boys could manage the sign in procedure. If we made every Delta and Sig fill out a two-page form, without any chairs for the girls while they wrote, we could provide the boys a pretty good view. If we set up the sign in area with the Deltas on one side of an aisle, and the Sigs on the other side, we could give the sign in boys very good ass views too.
