I received my reminder in the mail today with a nice pair of socks. If anyone is concerned about the athletic budget or any other part of the university budget you can donate to the university at mission.syr.edu/otto October 25th.

Nice. I much rather do this and get some cool stuff than those calls from freshmen asking an alum for money. I hate those calls.
 
Thanks for posting. I think we should try and remind the board many times before 10/25. Getting people to donate, whether $5 or more, goes a long way to the schools ranking. The number of donors matters more than the amounts. With the passionate base of fans on this board, we can really help the school and it doesn't have to cost much at all. While I believe money for the general scholarship fund to attract great students is important, non-alum sports fans can donate to the AD fund. It's a win win. Hope the board really rallies around this and we get a good amount of support.

They're aiming for 5,000 individual donations. That's a doable number. I waste what I plan to donate on clothes, sneakers and entertainment. I could chill out for once and give back.

Ooh ooh! Will I have those socks waiting for me in the mailbox when I get home? No way I’m donating them! Sorry. I’ll give money but keep your hands off my tootsies!

No socks for me, only the selfie Otto. I guess the level of donation with my season tickets doesn't qualify me for a free pair of socks. We need to investigate this.
 
Where’s my socks????? You mean I don’t give enough? I give my BLOOD, my SWEAT, my TEARS and I only get a decal?

Seriously where is Oprah when you need her. You get socks, and you get socks and you get socks and you get socks. Instead it was you get a piece of paper and you get a piece of paper and you get a piece of paper.

ALWAYS during a Cuse basketball game too. It drives me nuts. I cant for the life of me figure out why they would do that.
 
I gave $66! 22 for bball, 22 for football and 22 for general fund or whatever and got no socks!!!
Yeah, I gave $250+ and got the flat otto card board cutout. What the heck.

My $44 was for the AD's general/discretionary fund (whatever it's called).

Also, I was a 1st time donor, so maybe that's why I got the extra love?

I totally agree. I tell alumni friends just donate something- $22, $44 $144, $444 whatever you can afford. We just need to get the donor count up. That goes a long way in the Businessweek rankings, thus college applications, etc. It’s a virtuous circle
