[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 249795, member: 322"] Often we have talked about how the GTAA (Athletic Association) gets little help from GT / GTAA for donation support. I know for a fact that in the GT Alumni Association, our local network is not allowed to talk to donors to GT Alumni Association. The reason given was that the GTAA doesn't want the local networks to move in and alienate the donors with multiple requests. So this year, my wife and I got "invited" to have lunch with some GTAA people coming through the area. Of course they wanted to have lunch with us since we are such great people. We declined since we are not ready to bequest money to GT ..... but damn they did a great job. From the latest GT Philanthropy magazine, [B]GT received a record $244.8M [U]last fiscal year[/U] in gifts and commitments. And they received $129M in actual gifts and payments [U]last fiscal year [/U][/B](I guess bequests make up the difference). That is some serious money. So when we ***** about Peterson not really worrying about football and the GT Athletic Association, follow the money. Looking at these donations, I'm thinking my small potential bequest (after my kids are fully established) would better go to the GT Athletic Association, they sure need it more. As a side note, I've often thought that GT should go private like Stanford to give us much more control. These donations are a lot more than the State of Georgia now gives us aren't they? [/QUOTE]
