[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 528304, member: 2426"] I believe what he was referring to is that the president of GT is not on the board of the alumni association. He has no power over the alumni association. The mission statement of the alumni association says nothing about athletics. The alumni association does a good job of raising money for the GT Foundation. Any alumnus can reach out to the alumni association and try to convince them to support athletics more. If the school attempts to bully them into doing something they don't want to do, it could cause issues with what they do now. I have heard that the alumni association doesn't want to share the roll call list. I don't know other than people on forums posting it as fact. If they don't, then the GT athletic association should figure out a way to let alumni know that the roll call donations don't support athletics. I wouldn't do it in an adversarial manner. The AI2020 initiative is going on right now, but I believe the GTAA should have something along the lines of Clemson's IPTAY. Let the alumni and the fans know that the GTAA needs donations from normal fans and provide a system that lets fans feel like they are appreciated. Not everyone wants to support athletics and that is fine. I feel like that is a much better way to handle things than to bicker and argue with people who make it clear that they don't want to support athletics. [/QUOTE]
