"helping our program win THREE MAC WEST CHAMPIONSHIPS (!), these types of achievements are simply not possible without your financial support."
Question: What do we need to donate to get beyond MAC West championships? Is this a tiered system kinda thing? Like if I donate a boat or a small island can we get back to NCAA contention?

I used to donate to the basketball program. I remember on one of Billy's last years, I changed my donation to 1 penny to the basketball program (I have since moved donations out of basketball and to other academic programs). In the comments I wrote that I'd up my donations once they did something about the program. I usually dodge the 285 calls during the fundraising campaigns, but the next time one showed up on my phone, I took it. The poor kid on the other end says... "Thank you for your... umm... one cent donation last year." Oh, that was a hilariously uncomfortable call...

He'd better flog those "accomplishments" as hard as he can, because he's now in an environment where 3rd or 4th is his absolute ceiling....with 8th or 11th being just as likely.

The last call I got, THAT poor kid had to listen to a scathing rant about basketball, and it's now been some time since I've had a call. I think I got put on a N-E-V-E-R call list.

Okay Jimmy, I considered it. The answer is no.

Would it be fair to assume this is the prelude to an imminent contract extension? Unfortunately, probably so.

I'll tell you one thing - I would love to get my hands on the list of everyone who responds to this plea with money donated. I would definitely quit my job and concentrate on the easier task of separating those idiots from the rest of their money.

The last call I got, THAT poor kid had to listen to a scathing rant about basketball, and it's now been some time since I've had a call. I think I got put on a N-E-V-E-R call list. I think there is a list for that. Was it satisfying to make the kid uncomfortable? You sure got a lot done with that rant! BSU thanks you for not wasting time with you. I assume you did not switch the gift another purpose. If so you'd still get calls from kids working for that cause. But since you didn't the good news is you can revive your generous previous contributions at some point in the future. Just put that money aside and let it grow for that event. That future gift would make a point better than rudeness to a student. I respect any decision to reduce your annual gift. Or to switch it to academics. That makes a point too. I have done that when my gifts have seemed to be wasted. Let me suggest for anyone the fund for scholarships in Chemistry. PM me for the account number.
