I'm pretty tied in with UB athletics and the community / fan base...

There was a very loud minority of fans upset by the NYBI but they were more than offset by supporters last year. The seasons attendance and donation marks have thinned out the number of people complaining even more.

After 12 months of NYBI white is more popular than he was before it, despite the random prostesations of the B-Lo news and some anonymous spectrum editors.

SO let me ask you... If "the blow back from the billionairs and community" was immense how did it materialize?

I'm talking about Jacobs here. That cabal worked very hard to tie Buffalo to the community in order to bring development dollars to the university for the medical corridor. We're talking billions of dollars here. Branding was an integral part of taking a Canisius/St. Bona's oriented community to think UB first, in order to create the political will to provide hundreds of millions (immediately) for the build out.

I disagree that the branging had a heck of a lot to do with the Medical Cooridor getting political support... But I've not been able to disect your view on this one way or the other.
