Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 480504, member: 2585"] I was referring to the CNY weather and its affect on thinking everything sucks. But yeah - my optimism includes believing that an education from SU, hard work, and a little luck can lead one of the alumni to a crap-ton of cash. They choose to make a huge donation because someone believes we can get there. Honestly, that's the only way you convince someone to make that kind of donation - they have to believe that they are contributing to a compelling vision. Not: "Look, I think we can continue to be mediocre mr.moneybags. We just need you to contribute a large sum to beating our peers, UCONN and Eastern Michigan. We're trying to barely stay relevant here." [/QUOTE]
