Our higher earning alumni do not contribute to athletics like other schools... It's a fact... Sure, there are certain donors that open their wallets. I've mentioned this to a poster here via PM but a good friend of mine played in the early 70's. Since graduating, he's had 8 teammates turn into multi-millionaires. 8. Do they donate? Sure... But not how a multi-millionaire COULD donate...

Another factor was Gross, particularly during the Robinson years. I know of two instances where two different significant donors donated $100K each to the football team specifically. Only thing is that money went somewhere else... Those two donors have not set foot on campus in 10+ years...

Yeah McNabb donated for the weight room... Well that was because he got a seat on the board of trustees

Carmelo, sure. And I thank him.

Where's Dwight Freeney? Hell, where's Billy Fuccillo?

It's not about how much you "bleed orange". It all comes down to support specifically with those higher earners. What will get them to support I don't know, but I trust John to figure it out.
