UH athletic director

We have people soliciting funds for athletics. Issue is we don't have enough people in our fanbase with the financial resources or inclination to make a significant difference. People we have asking are told no very frequently. That does not mean efforts should cease. In fact, it simply means we need to work harder. Perhaps all the new ticket sellers we recently hired can make an impact going forward.

Hmm, maybe if we actually cultivated our fan base from our students we would see more donations. Instead we stifle student participation at every single turn.

The reasons for our lack of funds are partially in our control. It just happens to be when students spend the 4 or 5 years on campus. We just don’t care to create an environment that ties students to the university. We do a good job of educating them, but that’s about it.

It’s difficult to create change. It is even more difficult when creating a needed change is immediately met with reinforcement of the bad policy which necessitated a change.

I have yet to receive a phone call to contribute. In fact, outside of David, I have no idea who the other two fundraisers are that WestUCajun mentioned.

Good post regarding needing to cultivate interest in athletics from students.
