I'm not worried about getting seats. Others disagree and that is fine but to me both should be rewarded (loyalty and current giving) but the fact that in my case 20 years as a season ticket holder and 16 years of giving is given less priority then someone who gives a level up from me for the first time doesn't seem right. 

It is done with more than just Bowl tickets it is everything now. When they reseated the SunDome it was by priority points. So loyalty was rewarded but if you gave a lot you had a lot of priority points so it recognized both. Now if anything major happens that is out the window. It's a business and they obviously believe this way will get them more money so good for USF - I just don't think it should be that way. 

Just wait til we build an OCS...

My personal opinion, make the donations cumulative. Some of us are well over $20,000 and have quite a few priority points. It's taken years of loyalty to get there. If that large donor wants to buy his way in front of me, my donations + my ticket purchases, I think I would be good with that. I think for me that would put his "donation" somewhere around $50,000 just to be slotted in front of me.

This makes the most sense

I think if he were to give $20,001 he should jump ahead of you.

Perhaps, but when the current admin's actions are essentially cutting out those fans built over the first 15 years,

Geez .... It's not "essentially cutting out" anybody. I wouldn't expect a lot of dramatic shifting in most people's place in line and they need to do something to bring in new blood and try and squeeze more out of the current.

Not just bowl tickets Trip.  For that, who really cares?  But the overall feeling is that those that were donating and buying from Day One have less value today.  That's much seems true.  It doesn't motivate me to give more.

Understood .... but this is probably the way it should have been done from the get go and is kind of akin to the being grandfathered in on the 50 yd line while donating $100 a year. Harlan's had some tough, looks like fairly unpopular, decisions to make to get this thing ramped up. Something had to be done.

Then at least kiss me on the cheek before telling me to get out.

They're not telling you to get out ..... you'd be choosing this:

Why? He hasn't bought the first ticket or donated before?

Dollars make the program successful, if he passes you in dollars donated he deserves to be ahead of you in line.
