Doesn't surprise me. GT has never failed at raising capital...in fact, we have always hit our goals ahead of time. I've always felt that if our athletic department asked, donors and fans would always rise to the occassion to help Ma Tech. The problem, from my POV, is that we've been a bit too proud to ask publicly for money, or we kept capital raises to generous donors and have gone to the well too many times.
ADTS has been great about making capital raises a "team" effort in that it's a effort for the greater good. The way we've marketed the raises has been different from past efforts...and GT nation has responded enthusiastically.
