[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 909450, member: 2426"] I think it is worth noting that this campaign appears to me to be a side channel way of using foundation funds for athletics. The foundation has a charter and bylaws that require it to focus on academics. This drive is specifically funding the scholarship fund, so payments for the academic studies of the student athletes. It isn't funding athletics directly, such as paying for coaches or athletic facilities. I think the drive is great. I think it is an interesting way of looking at things and doing what can be done within the charter and rules. I don't think it is a flood gate for foundation money to start funding athletics. However, if the president and the foundation cooperate with athletics, it could open up a lot of direct donations to athletics. (which seems to be the purpose of this drive). The president said that the $2 billion fundraising campaign that is getting started is going to include athletics. If they all cooperate together, the school, roll call, foundation, and athletics could all increase their fundraising abilities. [/QUOTE]
