Which begs the question, why isn’t the RCAF independent?

Ding dong, hello! 100% needs to happen.

If RCAF were independent it would be much harder to redirect donations towards academics.

Have you got a shred of evidence that RCAF funds were not strictly for sports at UL. Having said that I’m 100% for independence and transparency.

This is an excellent point. I would be for independence also but is the complaining relevant? To me, this is really only relevant if donated funds for athletics are redirected.

I don't know, that is why I post this.

Nope. Every penny donated to RCAF goes to athletics .

I'm saying when a donor strolls by, the donor is steered towards academics.

For instance, if I say generically ' I want to make a $1mil donation to Athletics. It will be suggested that the money go to the "Annual Fund Athletic Scholarship Endowment"

Instead of Athletics having a million to work with that season or the next, a 4% return will generate $40G and in reality goes to academics, where it virtually costs next to nothing to put an athlete in the empty chair of a classroom.

When the same group is accepting donations for both entities one will inevitably hijack the other.
