Louisiana Athletics Announces Record-Setting Fundraising in 2020-21

This is kinda jaw dropping. Even if you back out the $15 mil from OLOL it is still $14,887,782. Up from $6,386,746. Wow.

Under some of the worse possible conditions

What a stunning turn of events after the doom and gloom of a year ago!

Medical field in town have really stepped up for the athletic department

Would be shocked if it doesn't include the $15M. Unfortunately, the % is wrong, it is really 368% growth. Before everyone says I cannot divide, let me explain why:

0% growth = $6.4M
100% growth = $12.8M
200% growth = 19.2M
300% growth = $25.6M
400% growth = $32.0M
500% growth = $38.4M

However, backing out the $15M, it would still be the largest year by over 16+% and something to be very proud of for sure.

Corporate donations are included. Got verification this morning.

Throwing in the word "growth" is similar to how "percentage" moves the decimals.

100% = $6.4M vs last year
200% = $12.8M
300% = 19.2M
400% = $25.6M

Correct, 100% growth would be $6.4M above the $6.4M that was done last year, making the total of $12.8M.

The 15 million wasn't a lump payment, it was to be spread out over time. So I'd imagine that's how it would calculated, no?

Since it is an unconditional pledge, it is fully included in the contribution figures.

That is how I read this too.
Approx $30M total - $15M= Approx $15M.
$15 M is still an INCREDIBLE NUMBER!!!

Nico and Maggard are getting it done, Period!

[Tripple Threat]

That number is absolutely stunning. Holy **** is that amazing.

[Cajunmac]

I’m still trying to wrap my head around these numbers. Part of what is so stunning is that I did not, at all see this coming. It is a wonderful kind of stunning. I mean, I had no idea that this was where we were. You probably could not chisel the smile off of Dr. Maggard and his staff.
