[QUOTE="dtm1997, post: 489585, member: 572"] 1) I don't think either of us are qualified to quantify a disconnect or who the GTAA considers or prioritizes as key constituency? We're both constituents, but that doesn't mean either of are among those considered as particularly key to the efforts. 2) I'm a 20 year GT hoops season ticket holder and I've lived in NYC for 12 years. In a good year, I get to 6 games. Maintaining my season tickets is one of the ways I choose to support GT athletics. You not having season football tickets is a choice for you and you've made the decision based on economic realities. Completely rational, but still a choice that you made. 3) Don't misconstrue a strategy that Stansbury has implemented to create internal synergy as some sort of corroboration that the GTAA cares less about non-ticket buyers. An effort to improve conversion of ticket buyers in to bigger donors is not mutually exclusive from continuing to foster & develop relationships with non-ticket holding donors. 4) Is it possible that in choosing to take a hiatus from writing checks, it may have lost any sway/influence/standing you may have had? During the past few years, regardless of Bobinski being a schmuck, you walked away from being a resource provider. Again, that was your choice. I'm not sure that you've returned to cutting checks based on some of the responses, but my impression is that you have. You had a long track record of giving and then you stopped. Is it fair for you to assume that by donating again you immediately return to the standing you once had, especially amidst turnover at the top? 5) You keep coming back to how you've written to essentially the GTAA's CEO and he hasn't responded. I'd ask you if you've tried reaching out to those beneath him? Do you have relationships elsewhere within the GT network that would result in you fostering a relationship with him? Why do you "expect" a reply from a "CEO"? He's quite literally running an enterprise responsible for supporting the endeavors of hundreds of student athletes. 6) If you think there's a lot that needs to be improved, isn't it logical that it takes a lot of time to make those improvements? Just so you're aware, I'm really trying to be mindful with how I'm writing my responses and trying to demonstrate that there are so many people, places, & things that Todd Stansbury has to manage. It's not always realistic for any one of us, as average supporters on the street, to think that whatever it is we would like to make known to him will get to him and warrant a response.
