If you knew that the A&M Athletic Department was making tons of money, how motivated would you be to donate?

A long time administrator and former university president at another school told me joke about a university president dying and going to hell. The devil said the university president could go back but the president would get two medical centers and two athletic departments. The president stayed in hell.

You have players spouting off attacking Former Students and calling them racists... you might have to lower your projected donations from them.
You have someone like Leon "Wake'em Up" O'Neal... talking about how the fans and the University was so good to him, and you will recover faster.
It is a relational world.
If you're going to let one student athlete sway you one way or another on donating, then you really don't care that much about your school.
Good point.
But I don't donate to the school. Because the school is a business and I paid tuition to go there. They did me no favors, neither did I do them a favor. The business transaction is over. No obligation at either end.
If I feel like I might donate but at this point, no.
All of the ticket revenue is through the foundation. The AD doesn't sell tickets.
I consider a $24 chicken wrap a donation

I believe it was Lat who once said that any accountant worth their salt can make a $300m profit look like a $200m loss. For tax purposes.
And by the way, technically the university is a nonprofit, so of course they will push any and all revenue forward and back and bond it and move it around so much that they always run at or near the black.
A&M is sitting on a mountain sized pile of money and everyone knows it. Even more money than tu, OU, Harvard, MIT, or Bama.
He should do a skillshare class. I wont take it cuz im broke but still
Oh great. Now we cannot even pay our recruits the big bux.
We are sunk.
We are sunk.
It wasn't one student. It was multiple students, multiple professors, and a school leadership that protects hate crime hoaxes.TexAg15 said:DallasAg 94 said:

Wait till Mr Potato Head's tax policies hit home. Oil money built this place, write off's made it possible.
