Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 466051, member: 628"] Do we have a single BIG-time donor to the football program? Like the kind of Burton-esque sugar daddy UConn has? It's always been baffling to me that SU has such a slew of fantastically wealthy alums who have donated lots of money to the school for academic purposes (think David Falk) and yet we haven't been able to convince one to throw multi-millions at the football program. That being said, if there is indeed a leverage play at work by Marrone and Gross then that's great. Honestly I think a huge failing of P and Jake was not doing something similar back in the 90s. Maybe it wouldn't have worked, but they were company men who just let the admin suck all the money out of their program without putting up a public fight. [/QUOTE]
