[QUOTE="Randy Carson, post: 924267, member: 766"] I suspect someone has crunched all the numbers. [LIST] [*]# of living alumni x [B]donation rate %[/B] x [B]avg annual donation $[/B] = average annual contribution $ from alumni donors [*]# of alumni living within driving distance of BDS x [B]season ticket sales rate % [/B]x [B]avg season ticket $[/B] = avg. season ticket revenue $ [*]etc. [/LIST] ADJB can push buttons to move the numbers in [B]bold[/B] in a positive direction, but at the end of the day, either he thinks we can be competitive on the field or he doesn't. I suspect he knew the answer before he took the job. The fact that PAC and ADJB are [B]moving forward instead of trying to lower our expectations[/B] (at a time when it would relatively easy to snuff out what little fire remains) leads me to believe that the revenue modeling IS positive and that we CAN be both competitive and financially sound as an institution. This is not just wishful thinking on their part. Over the past few months, I've repeatedly voiced my concerns about the systemic problems smaller, academically rigorous schools face when competing with the big state universities and their 100,000-seat stadiums filled with rabid fans situated in small towns with no pro sports, etc., etc., etc. I will be [B]extremely[/B] happy if I am proven wrong over the next few years. :buzz: [/QUOTE]
