Unless they left that information about the donors off of the press release, they are not Alums of the university, rather they are Denton residents. So they donated 1.5 million to the university simply because they admire what direction RV has taken the program and I'm guessing because they like to attend the games. For as much as we rip Denton residents for their lack of support I have to say that is pretty shocking for a non-alum to be that involved and donate that much money.

Stan, they have given ALOT of money to things in the Denton area, and don't be shocked if they give a lot more to the Athletic program in the future. They are really good people.

      Here’s a couple more anecdotes for you to spin: I coached a kid that played basketball at Wichita St. Average work ethic, tons of talent. I also coached a kid that played football at UT. Average to above average work ethic, elite talent. I doubt most D1 players don’t work any harder than their high school teammates, they just have more talent. I would even say that many less talented players have to work harder just to be able to get on the field. I know there are a few high school coaches on the board. I’d love to hear their experience.

      House v. NCAA settlement winners and losers: Athletes take monumental step, non-revenue sports at risk

      Also looking like by moving the collectives back into the athletic department they can regain the tac benefit: “There is, however, another incentive to drive donors to give to schools now that the universities can pay players directly: Their donations are subject to tax deductions, unlike those to a collective.” link: https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa-settlement-qa-how-will-schools-distribute-revenue-what-is-the-future-of-nil-collectives-and-more-125519681.html

      House v. NCAA settlement winners and losers: Athletes take monumental step, non-revenue sports at risk

      Winner: Boosters and fan pocketbooks Athletic departments are still going to need boosters to make big-money contributions, arguably now more than ever as their budgets are squeezed amid a decrease in NCAA distributions and the advent of revenue-sharing. But the boosters and casual fans won't be so directly needed to fund talent acquisition. The term "booster fatigue" has become common in the college sports lexicon. Now, the primary onus for paying the players will be on the athletic departments. That takes financial pressure off supporters, who are already shelling out for seat licenses, season tickets, travel, merchandise, parking, concessions, cable packages and all the other expenses that come with being a college sports fan. read more: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/house-v-ncaa-settlement-winners-and-losers-athletes-take-monumental-step-non-revenue-sports-at-risk/amp/
