[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 1010232, member: 1555"] There is no doubt that GT needs to up its donations - we are behind many of our peers. That said, I don't agree with your 2022 data guesstimates which greatly exaggerated the SEC revenue, or your point about ESPN seeing a conclusion. The data suggests that the ACC is growing contributions faster than the SEC. Again, when viewed strictly from a GT perspective, our donations (and ticket sales) are not in the same league as our SEC neighbors. The ACC is behind as a conference but we don't need to portray it as worse than it is. Here's the actual data comparison using the Knight database: [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]2017[/TD] [TD]2017[/TD] [TD]2022[/TD] [TD]2022[/TD] [TD]Increase %[/TD] [TD]Increase %[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]SEC[/TD] [TD]ACC[/TD] [TD]SEC[/TD] [TD]ACC[/TD] [TD]SEC[/TD] [TD]ACC[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Donor Contributions[/TD] [TD]497[/TD] [TD]204[/TD] [TD]561[/TD] [TD]271[/TD] [TD]13[/TD] [TD]33[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Total[/TD] [TD]1846[/TD] [TD]820[/TD] [TD]2169[/TD] [TD]1072[/TD] [TD]17[/TD] [TD]31[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
