ECU blows everyone else in the conference away. It's amazing what the past few years of putrid football have done to our once promising donor base.

We nearly have a billion in donations raised, and over the past 2 years have seen some major $10-25 million dollar donations across campus.

Donations to the Bulls Club (USF Athletics) are separate from what you've cited. Our endowment is not the same "pot of funds" as athletics.
True, but the donors are there... instead of USF pushing the donors into building a new football stadium, building student athlete dorms, or funding athletics in general, the University is pushing them into naming buildings.
Its priorities.
