If I was going to make a donation to the Ignite promotion, which fund would be the best one to donate to?

I don't know. I donated to the Football Excellence Fund, FWIW.

That seems like the best & obvious choice.

I'll give others the chance to chime in some before making my decision.

Football is in the best shape... other sports are lacking funds.

Football. That's what I did.

Are you already a booster? If yes, donate it in someone else’s name. This drive is more about number of boosters than dollars raised. Btw... I don’t think there is a best answer to this question... Can’t go wrong with women’s hoops tho.

Would be considered a new donation here.

Just wondering if there was one area or another where it would be more beneficial.

I understand the numbers push.

The way it works... even if everyone chose one fund that fully supported that sport, all the Ath Dept will do is divert general ath dept funds that would have been going to that sport to other areas... so unless it’s for some brick and mortar project, it prob doesn’t matter which sport.... that’s unless you about to donate millions.

Is there a basketball fund?

Football excellence! Football is the path to a better conf. which will lead to more tv and ticket revenue, which is used to improve other none revenue sports. Go Football!

******** GETS IT!!! ************* That is where my donation went too.

I asked earlier and was told MBB needs the funding, FWIW.

Due to lack of tournaments made the last few years and declining attendance probably.

Wouldn't the suspected increase in football money be utilized in other programs like men's basketball, etc.?

Men's basketball has been self supporting in the past. I'm guessing this additional need would be to upgrade things.
