To what end?
 
Syracuse University is not broke and they certainly do not need money from me to get anything built. Ask Miami residents how they feel about the Marlins new stadium deal. Hell ask Syracuse residents how they feel about Destiny USA.
 
I have no issue stepping up and purchasing season football tickets or giving a little extra but I need to know what I am investing in. Is it a good deal for me as a CNY resident to help a private school build a new stadium that will not provide any tangible benefit to the community at large? No. In that case the school needs to pony up the dough. If however they open the books and show athletic expenses, show all athletic funds go to athletics, show all donations go to athletics and where, can offer a plan on how the new athletic buildings will help the CNY community, etc then you have a real relationship with donors and supporters who would go to the ends of the earth to help make Cuse athletics tops in the country. Cloak and dagger crap where we are supposed to send in a few thousand dollars and watch as ribbon lights go up for more advertising, signs in Yankee stadium or NYC cabs while facilities fall down around us is not a good use of my or anyone elses money.
