[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 646366, member: 2426"] I do agree that the GT Athletic Association needs something akin to IPTAY. TStan has given a vision of what money is used for and had raised a large amount for AI2020 by explaining that vision. However, when a large donor announced matching funds for the recruiting staff initiative, the $300-$400k was donated by only 320 people. "Fans" beg for different apparel, but when it is available they complain about shade of color, or location of logo, or that the buttons on th polo aren't to their liking. Or they complain that the apparel is too expensive. I have seen posts on this forum staying that the poster shouldn't need to donate because a QB from the 80s has so much money he should fund athletics by himself. Last year I counted the number of people listed in the football program as donating at the Alexander level or higher, and it was less than 1,000. That means fewer than 1,000 people donated $500 or more. The majority of "fans" don't buy season tickets and don't donate money. The same fans who don't provide any financial support to GT Athletics wand better coaches, better recruiting, and better results. They just want someone else to pay for it. So I stick by my statement. [/QUOTE]
