Who would be responsible for finding this cache of rich donors? Is that under Crist or Knowlton? To me this should not be an impossible endeavor. Also, what about reaching out to all our pro/former pro football players to donate. Something like Riverboat Ron did. I continue to see that we have a large number of pro-bears even though our teams haven’t excelled.
I love football and am a long time loyal Bear alum. I did grow up in the South, so football is in my blood. I still enjoy going to our games for as we all know, you never really can predict the outcome of their games.
But back to putting together a strategy to get multiple donors to contribute. I think that having football program at Cal is critical. My daughter just started her freshman year at college and when she was looking at schools, I really wanted her to go where they had a football program as well as good academics. I feel having the student experience of attending football games is a rite of passage for college kids. My daughter ended up at university of Colorado - Boulder so has the football program, but she was unable to get a student athletic pass because of the hiring of Dion Sanders as coach. They sold out of the student allotment and couldn’t release any more as they also sold out season tix this year. I was so bummed she was going to miss out.
