We always ask what the priority is and have our donation go to whatever is needed most, so it's going to the IPF.  Before that, it was the tutoring center.

As ET mentioned, the monthly installments are great.  They can even make those vary by month if that helps,

We inquired about naming rights for the patio/terrace and thought maybe, maybe if it was $100k and could pay it out over 5 years or more that we would give it consideration.  But found out that they wanted $250k and that it was already taken. So any donation to the IPF will probably be a lot less.

Edit: And before anyone asks why just that, it would have sounded good with our last name.  The other things for $100k are line coaches, D back coaches offices, etc.

"Cousin Ricky Patio" yes it does have a nice ring to it....wonder if they would do a plaque over each urinal or stall for smaller donations??

Not so much.  Last name starts with T and thought we'd go with the Txxxx Terrace.

We are continuing to make good progress. Obviously, we have more fund raising to do for this project. There should be some news on some major gifts coming up here soon. 

As BulledOver mentioned earlier in the thread, ever donation, regardless of size, helps us reach our goal. Gifts can be paid in installments and are fully tax deductible.

I have seen numerous respondents in this thread who have already make a gift to the USF Football Center and we thank you so much for that support.

And don't forget the credit card points/cash back!

When I did the Locker, it was $2,500 and I paid $500 a year. Last I saw, there were many that did not have a sponsor . . .

That hasn't come up and would likely be something that would be decided upon at the end of the process.

Maybe USF should create an athletics loyalty program with a credit card. It works so well with the airlines and hotels, it would do wonders here. The points could be used for game day suites access, redeemed for free tickets, one on one meet and greet experiences with USF coaches in off season, etc.

I though the IPF alone was only $18-20 million. If we’ve raised over $10, I’d think we’re close to shovels in ground.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
