The success and excitement around the program lead me to take an active role in supporting the team, and now several of us from that class are some decent level donors, where hopefully our money is helping Keatts' salary and any resources he needs. It's not accurate to say that 15-20 year history doesn't matter.

I agree, that's the only way past success matters at all if you have built a sustainable fanbase that continues to dump money into the program and brick and mortar things like facilities built off that success that are still there. Even when you are down like a Memphis basketball would still draw and have an NBA arena even if they were down like this year or the next 5 years they would still be a great job.

I usually note that but in your case your attendance has been pretty bad for a while and you had some money issues so it's hard to say that really applies in your case as you never improved on your facilites or maintained anything near your fan support you had 10-15 years ago but you do have a point about the only tangible place I can see history really having an impact today.

Would make sense a guy with a handle called money would let everyone know about the money he gives though.
