A tangentially related question to hoyaparents's post: what % of Gridiron Club donors do not have a direct connection the program (e.g. parent of current or former player; former players)? It's got to be near 0%, right? Seems to me the goal, or at least the measuring stick of success, will be to get people from outside of the "directly connected" pool involved and donating. No one will give anything unless the University starts giving information. I can throw cash down the toilet and know nothing about the direction of the program, too...but I'd rather not. I don't disagree, but our comments aren't quite hitting the same issue. I can't blame anyone for not giving to football at the moment. Those who've given in the past are the ones that I think that have been the worst burned (e.g. my biggest gripe - that I gave to MSF and my money has disappeared and I don't even get the respect of an explanation as to why they either have used it for something different or are still sitting on it. In either event, I'd like it back but I don't think that's gonna happen). My question is simpler - Among those who have historically given or are currently giving, what % aren't related to the program? If the answer is near zero, as I suspect, our problem is larger than the dollars and cents.
