Deep pockets, our problem is we are not reaching enough Alumni. How many people have graduated from USF, how many are Alumni members but do not support our Athletics? That is the issue...
Didn't we just raise $600+ million? Maybe it's our athletics and not our alumni.
According to the chart, USF donors number +/- 3,500. Gotta remember, a lot of alumni passed through USF before '97. As for not reaching them, there is no guarantee that once someone graduates from college that they are inclined to send even mo' money to the alma mater, particularly athletics.
Not to mention, our medical programs tend to finish the year ranked, something most of our marquee sports can't say. CAMLS is pretty badass, our athletic department falls well short of that.
