We could have the Tony Robbins of AD's, and I still think he'd have trouble extracting more donations from our fanbase. 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.

Student fees shouldn’t be used for intercollegiate sports.    If a student wants to donate to an OCS, then they should do it individually through a pledge to the Bulls Club.

lol **** that, I'm a current student here and that would be total bs to pay an extra 80$ a semester. I'd honestly rather us be a legit college and stop throwing money at amateur sports where, let's be

USF could always sit back and just wait for something to happen. Say anything you want to about UCF, but ANYBODY that's not envious of where they are full of crap. Good, bad, right, or wrong. Foo

The answer to your question is, never. 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.

A lack of interest in college football or paying for a stadium is a culture problem???

Wasn't the basketball practice facility about $25 million?  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.
