We seriously have a "cultural" problem. The Daily Stampede just did an article analyzing a small student survey they just did. The students' stance on donating to USF as alumni is quite eye opening. Small sample size, I know. Correct - Culture problem is the answer here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colleges have been milking students to pay for athletics since at least 1905 when Walter Camp was charging students an $8 fee. That's about $215 each in today's dollars, if you're scoring at home. I don’t recall being charged any fee that was to support inter-collegiate athletics in any way. If you wanted to attend football games you purchased a student season ticket. One of my granddaughters is a student there now and it’s still the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lack of interest in college football or paying for a stadium is a culture problem??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A combined IP and football center would top that but the IPF is about $18 million??? Just going from memory so a likelihood I'm off on the numbers. If I’m not mistaken the Sun Dome renovation exceeded $25 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
