surprised to see you back. Welcome back. I thought you had permanently left?

Just a comment on the donation thing. I have been out of school for a long time, and while I am a cougar club member, I do not donate $1,000 per year.

There are a number of reasons why I don't, but I won't go into them because of the ensuing stupid CB discussion that would follow it up. My FIL is a gold member, but it is primarily driven by his desire to get athletic tickets, and he attends FB, BB and VB, among others. I agree with your point that the athletic event tickets are needed to raise more donations. I also agree, but different from your scale, that people need to recognize that BYU athletics need your donations and everyone should pony up something and join CC. 10,000 more members with only $100 donations is an extra million $ each year.

One other thing - on the Rabid Fans and student concept. I was a rabid fan when I was a student and if I had to sit on the top row of the MC to watch a BB game, or in the corner of the endzone to watch a FB game, I would be there every time.
