Can you be a former alumni (alumnus)?

Is there a process to renounce your alumnuship?

If only you guys could put as much effort into correcting my toilet and cellphone grammar as you put into criticizing and vocalizing the failures of Jeff Scott, we might be closer to having a new head coach who could find a way to win in the American Athletic Conference. Do you actually believe Scott can learn to win? In year 3, we should be seeing major steps forward on the field, which is not happening..

I meant former student, alumni current season ticket holder, and financial supporter of the team.

I wonder if these are in the order they are considered. 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. 

It can’t be in an exact hierarchy or else there would be no parents since the parameters for that classification would hit on anyone labeled a parent prior to hitting on the parent parameter. The only way it wouldn’t be the case would be if the rule for friend included “and doesn’t equal parent -true”  but then that by definition would place it above friend on the hierarchy so as to not have an unnecessary rule that would be solved entirely by reranking.

Fairweather Friends?

Friendship usually implies some degree of reciprocity, a friend that is always in need and never gives back is more a charity case than a friend and that they only come around and call you when they are in need is pretty much the definition of a fair weather friend.

Right - agree. Also wonder what the other category would entail, that could not be captured into one of the other categories. Maybe UCF fans donating by mistake?

Using creative accounting they could count ours as Friends and Parents thus helping set a new record in fundraising. 😆

    "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."
