thank you for the thoughtful reply.
       my reference to duke,bc,wake forest,and i forgot northwestern--- was pertaining to their academic prowess  and not just football. they do not seem to have issues such as we do.
   if we have such success at getting grants and generating income why are we having such financial issues??? has anyone ever polled the alumni and asked why they do not donate and not just to athletics??? the lack of funds does not appear to be related to football only.
   what kind of academic building would we build--more of the same???
one of the issues is that no one ever knows where the money goes and for what. su has no transparency and as a private thats fine. it does not on the surface add up. 
      virtually nothing has occurred in several years to enhance the academics on the hill. there has been no leadership and in fact the academic reputation had declined. where were all the grants and money then??? i am not trying to be difficult, but to be big time (and not football)su needs to take that step---they need to make an investment.
        for football it would be at the very least renovations.  i wonder how many season ticket holders have been lost in recent years. i would bet none due to the stadium. i bet a whole lot do to watching a bad product in a less than desirable space. hopefully the product will get better and as many posters say and i agree win and they will come.
   i have no idea if my daughter donates to any school and i would never ask her. however, i did ask her for the money i spent for the groceries she asked me to p/u as she was tied up at work.:)
