On a serious note, Keep waiting for the next "big donor" to come hasn't really worked out. Time to think outside the box (Crypto, NFTs, Metaverse, etc), but still be open to the big donor as well.
Jim. I really appreciate this comment and want to put in my two cents.
If there are ,or were , big donors out there , the Athletic Dept would find a way to piss them off and drive them away. Since Laing retired donors of all sizes are an afterthought, they are not appreciated or valued. In my humble view this has continued with the new AD and his staff.
They are incapable of securing even a modest donation without offending the donors.
Some of the comments that have been made are nasty, biased and just ignorant. Small minds with no clue what it takes to “friend-raise” and
motivate alumni , corporations or others to donate. Even the President has been known to alienate potential donors with disparaging remarks.
My wife and I have greatly scaled back our estate planned giving to KSU .
It’s now going elsewhere where we trust it will be used per our instructions and appreciated.
Playing 12 P5 games per year is a great suggestion. It’s the only way the Athletic dept can raise money. BTW. Tickets sales and seat licenses ?? , how’s that going. LOL.
