Frankly kind of shocked we had donation levels on par with UCF this year. That's impressive.

"The General Assembly passed a law in 2015 intended to reduce the percentage of student fees being used to pay for athletics. ODU was given 10 years to get down to 55 percent.

Broderick challenged Athletic Director Wood Selig and ODAF officials at the time to broaden the fundraising base. ODU has more than doubled its fundraising since then.

Selig said ODU met the 55 percent requirement last school year. ODU is renovating Ballard Stadium without raising student fees."

That's the first I've heard that we hit the 55% requirement officially. That's also very impressive in just 3 years. I would argue they keep the foot on the pedal and get us down to the low 40s.
