Not sure how many alums there are but if there are 250,000 then the average donation is $50. That is total to the University, not Athletics. Have no idea how that compares to other schools but seems low.

Meaning I am Alumni and staff, where are my dollars counted (or are they split between both categories). I'm sure many of the corporate, foundations and estate gifts are alumni too.

A gift made by someone like @CousinRicky would be considered a gift from a "friend" since he is not a USF Alumnus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This goes back years, but we met Judy at an Alumni event (we are life members although not considered alumni) and she asked when we graduated. Told her we didn't and that we were always confused as to what to call ourselves. She was the first to tell us to tell people we are Friends of the university. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point friends trying to be supportive can become enablers. Hey Cuz, can you take the keys from USF? Friends don't let friends drive drunk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was down in Tampa this past weekend but, unfortunately, for two funerals. On the bright side, daughter's team won state high school volleyball championship in their classification. So, something to cheer about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoolyBully Posted November 2, 2022 Group: Bull Backers Topic Count: 194 Content Count: 6,786 Reputation: 864 Days Won: 3 Joined: 08/01/2000 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Alumni can be a flexible term. Sometimes it's defined as graduates. Other times it includes non-graduated former students (e.g., went for a semester and dropped out) as well. According to usf.edu, "There are more than 311,000 USF graduates..." so that would be around $40/individual. However, a lot of warm bodies passed through USF before '97, so it's not surprising that alumni donations are what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
