Figured I'd toss this in here as it can go right into the rumors bin.

Had a conversation with a high level USF employee who wrote the following when I asked about any good news they'd been hearing:

"Fund raising campaign with a focus on small donations can have BOTH IPF and OCS paid for, in full, in record time. With very small individual investment. Alumni must be ready to activate. Critical for conference realignment. Shovel in ground once a certain level of fund raising occurs."

 

Now I'm not here to say whether this is going to happen or not and I wasn't about to argue counterpoint with a high level USF employee, but with the projected price tag of an IPF and an OCS you'd think it would cost a lot more than a bunch of small donation, especially when we are only talking what...25k die hards? Maybe more would come forward for an OCS but hey what do I know...just tossing out what I hear. 

I believe the bolded part is the key. Aren't there over 150k alums in the 5 county area?  What is the total number of alumni?  $200,000,000 / 200,000 would be $1,000 each.

Good to know! Hopefully our ocs has ramps for my walker so I can watch our first Big 12 v2.0 game in 2080 against UT (San Antonio)

I do know plenty of friends who don’t currently donate that absolutely would shell out for an OCS. 200k? I don’t know, but I do know it would be substantially more than the status quo

I assume you mean they don't donate over and above the donation included with season tix?

Doesn't this belong in the OCS Rumor Thread?
