It wasn't Shalala. It was Schnellenberger. I recall a photo of Schnelly holding up the National Championship Trophy - and there behind him - were a lot of folks doing the "U" with their hands. Some supposed logo historians say it was adapted in 1992 - but that's shot in the *** when you see...

I'll let you know when I run into some. As for you, I would't be able to pick you out of a bag full of sphincters.

I'm just having fun. No real recruiting news, no practices, football news is as hard to find as a virgin in a tiddie bar - and I find myself with a stationary target with no bullets. I see Original bloviate on every subject that comes up with an air of expertise that he clearly doesn't have -...

You knew the difference? It sure didn't show. Clearly, you've not overburdened yourself with financial terminology, nor concepts as simple as "revenue-generation." You had to look it up during that pause. I didn't politicize anything - you're the one that said "What difference does it make?"...

Not sure if you're asking for a pity party, or to stick out your chest, and say, "I'm special!" Even folks who buy season tickets contribute to the program. I'm sure there are others who have donated to the program, but they don't mention it. It would be too embarrassing for them.

Great. A know-it-all dip**** who at the end, doesn't know a revenue from a cost designated donation. You sound like HIllary. "What difference does it make?" And no, state schools get additional state and even federal funds. You might want to take a nap.

Original blows all the time, anyway.

And what SOME people can't get through their heads is that the FOOTBALL program generates true REVENUE. Academics and academic research are COST centers.

It's really not all that difficult to raise money if you're a non-profit. That's because you can sell the donors the tax benefits when donating to a non-profit. Now if someone is donating for specific research - that money gets pretty much spent on that particular sliver of medical research...

YOU are talking about contributions. Some rich, stick-up-their-asses folks who not only donate to the university - but stipulate what it has to go to. I'm talking about national recognition of the school and it's program. I'm talking about the influence it DOES have on students - and where...

I'll give you two more words: mass exposure. Two more: Name brand. Two more: National Recognition. Think about that.

Of course the mega donors are more interested in research. Some in marine research, some in medical research - they have their own pet interests they fund. The ground commander should be the one responsible for what happens under his command. To permit a detrimental condition is to fail to...

I never said the millions of dollars of exposure converted directly into dollars or grants. I said exposure. And if someone is looking at a top private school - then UM if nationally exposed during football season - WILL draw some of the more well to do students who 1.) don't live in or around...

Anyone got some recent photos to share? Many of us don't live nearby, and yet we're interested in seeing where we are on a periodic basis.

I would agree. UM gets multiple millions of dollars of marketing exposure through the football program alone. When the football program is rocking - lots of kids through exposure are made aware of UM, the campus, and the fact that it's a private school. Game Day exposure? For a small...

Dude. Seriously?

Just explain it. To any who complain, "UM didn't use YOUR dollars - we used someone else's."
