built a giant donor base, and then they started winning titles?

I honestly don't know. But it seems like maybe you win big and then the money comes.

This is not a humblebrag, but I find it disappointing that I'm within

Trying to understand what you are saying,

Good point. Yes. It's worth setting up a pledge and monthly donation.

I think BlackBart was CarolinaCoug's tutor. 😃

Amirite, thats one of those "Social Clubs" from the 80s, right?

TheHop

Yes, especially if you the sport teams it makes sense to support them

Skeptical Optimist

You know what would be nice? The ability to allocate donations to BYU

1/10/18 10:25am

Congrats, but remember that many also donate to academics

This isn’t the case at other schools?

YIsForBrigham

1/10/18 10:40am

yes, but that is the reason others are not higher on the CC donation list

I don't know that I'll ever be able to justify buying tickets to games

You're right. I'll cancel construction of my three charity hospitals in Africa.

Not sure, but their fans donate thousands of dollars a year.

I don't think BYU, CC, or the teams right now are set up to encourage much optimism. Without P5, all the donations

LDS Philanthropies discourages donations to CC in many instances

How much does one have to donate to be in the Top 1000?

The email came through earlier this morning on football tix priority

BlackBart

So how much does one have to donate?

I say pledge and then donate what you can. You can often pledge

BlackBart

1/10/18 12:40pm

Where are you proportionally on the list? I am right at about 50%

Nat Gas Man

1/10/18 11:07am

Legacy or overall? I'm right under 1,000 of the "over 7,000" in CC

At BYU, no should being paying student loans for decades.

Baron

1/10/18 10:46am

Sure, but lots of BYU grads go elsewhere for grad school - and pay $$$

buffgato

Other schools fanbases do, and I’d argue the cost of an education at these other schools far exceeds the cost at BYU.

Just got my email. I'm in the top 5000!

buffgato

was just thinking the same thing. I just got the email too. It's sad/shocking

That's kind of how I feel about it....I've just been somewhat
