I think my default setting for USF athletics is outrage, so if I can’t find a way to be outraged by something I think it wise for those that are to consider that fact.

Also part of my Angry Old White Guy DNA!

P.S:  I also don't understand how emojis work (electronic ticket rant thread).

My wife and I are lifetime members of the Alumni Assoc and never attended a class at USF.

See that's a nice thing shows support. Your kids went to USF didn't they? Or, did you just watch a USF football game and tell yourself...I want to hook my wagon to this horse they are going to be Great!!

I don’t think we get much $ from past players who made it big. I know a few instances but it is irregular for sure. As for me I am just the dancing monkey at a research university that hands out crumbs to keep me on the treadmill

And we are **** glad to say....We kinda sorta know you in a long distance confusing way...

The membership change isn't about building the reported membership count. It's about being clear that USFAA works for all alumni, not just those who pay into it. As someone who has run one of the USFAA chapters, I've seen first-hand that engagement is hurt by the perception that you need to be a dues-paying member to take part in any official USFAA activities. In reality, we were hosting activities for all alumni and friends of USF regardless of their membership status.

This no-fee membership is the model the most alumni associations are moving towards and has been a trend over the last decade or so.

See what your saying but, dont you find it a bit off setting when you see the number of alumni vs the number of grads? There is an obvious disconnect there with the actual grads. They get their degree and go away and it's so long USF. When the USF magazine comes I like to read the features and look at the updates for the grads in their lives/careers. Sometimes I will look the name up on the Member & Life Member listing's just to see if they are on there. Many times they are not. Find it interesting. Strong support for USF seems elusive. Thankfully there are some deep pockets that have been very generous and uncounted smaller donors. But, when you get into the big ticket athletic items(IPF OCS) there has got to be a corporation(several) and prominent/wealthy individuals/alumni who could be recruited.

There are some who don't even consider him an alum because he didn't stay all 4 years.  Who cares.  I've heard him say South Florida in the past.  Don't really blame him for the way the team has played the last few years.  Just because he isn't publicizing it, doesn't mean he hasn't donated $$ to USF.
