I hope it doesn't come back to haunt during the season.

Kind a like teasing a pit bull and then letting him go play nice the other dogs.

The camaraderie is still there.
Boca is VERY expensive and students probably won't stay there too long after graduation. They'll probably will get more for their money somewhere else.

Pathetic job by the school and those whose job it is to bring csash into this major university,.
>>The largest portion of the revenue - nearly $8 million - came through student athletic fees. FAU students paid the highest athletic fee in the state, $13.75 per credit hour. The increase of $2 per credit hour provided an additional $1 million. The athletic department raised $370,000 in donations compared with $208,000 the previous year.<<

It's stunning to me that the students (unfortunately, many of whom could not care less about football) raised $8 million, while the staff and fund-rasing "pros" could only come up with $370,000.

I do have to agree with this. donations need to be a major part of the funding, not a minor part. Its only about 4%.

I have three thoughts: 1) balancing the budget for the 1st time in department history is a feather in Angelo's cap that he will most likely use to move on. Balancing this upcoming year will be a lot more difficult due to Sun Belt travel costs.; 2) as I stated in a previous post, you can see the reality of why we play those super tough football games early in the season and that's because the dept. needs the guarantee money; and 3) if the BOT's don't approve the dome (which doesn't cost the athletic dept. any money) there is no funding for a temporary or outside stadium (Plan B). I guess money could be borrowed but that really puts fiscal integrity at risk.
These facts explain why it's been hard for me to be as optimistic as some of you on this board.

If the fundraising continues in this manner then I will be concerned.
