About fund raising. Don't know all it's implications but this is fact.

I have been at Manley the past 2 days. They have 2 boards in the Orange Club room being used to track athletic fundraising. One is labeled Football upgrades (or something like that). The goal is $5m. That is for the upgrades we have just seen. The amount raised so far is $4m. So we are $1m short for things we already did.

Now the 2nd board didn't specify and sport or any specific project. It just said something like SU athletics. The goal was $14m and the goal was met.

Since the $5m board was specifically labeled I am assuming the $14m board was not specifically for football nor the IPF.  Did Marrone think or hope most or all of this would be put towards the IPF? Don't know. Maybe it was meant for a number of items not all football related.

Raising money for football doesn't seem to be something that is easy to do here. Why, I have no idea.

Keep in mind also that I have heard more than a few times the last several years that the AD has been in hot water for spending money  we don't have.
