For support to other sports call in!
You don't have to do it on ONE BALL STATE DAY.
We have lots of deserving programs. Women's sports particularly need outside funds.

It's really difficult for me to imagine anyone with some money to donate somewhere that would look at an NCAA womens sports team and think "THAT'S who really needs my money the most!" These girls get scholarships and get to play their chosen sports in fairly lavish facilities with the only attendance being maybe their parents and a few friends. There is basically no contribution whatsoever to the university and student body as a whole, but the students (through "fees") and taxpayers have to support this farce. It's really difficult to think of any group LESS deserving of a donation. If life was actually fair, they would be somehow taxed to pay back most of the student and taxpayer money they already get.

So you believe we should not support ANY sports?
Certainly your argument against women athletes apply to the men.
If you do not believe a University should support sports, that is fine, we disagree. Or some particular sport.
Please make your pledge to other academic or service funds. And please, don't make life hard on those student who might call you with a funding request.

He’s Not a supporter of BSU sports as stated earlier. So, I doubt any support financially there.

Yes, in the case of BSU, men's basketball is the only sport that has the potential to justify it's costs with its contribution to the university as a whole. But with the competence and focus of the administration being what it is, there is so little hope of that potential being realized that it is also a waste of resources. Sports should be brought to a club level and those who don't like their sport enough to compete at that level of funding should find something else to do with their time.
Also, anyone who interrupts my time at home with an unsolicited call asking for money can expect to be hung up on or to be treated as the rude and obnoxious pest that they are. Ball State and its students are by no means an unfortunate, underfunded charity case.

He considers BSU undeserving of his charity. So much so he is willing to treat any students calling to ask for any BSU cause as "the rude and obnoxious pest that they are." After all "Ball State and its students are by no means an unfortunate, underfunded charity case." I wish he understood scholarships and program support, even for athletes sometimes, really help deserving students. Really make the institution able to a lot of good. And, contrary to his belief, many areas of need are underfunded. It's hard for me to imagine he didn't benefit as a student from gifts to programs that made his education better. I really doubt he understands how many things would not be there, would not have been there for him, without charitable giving.

Like I've said before my donations are not large actually they are very small but I will be doubling them this year. I love BSU football and the joy they gave me deserves some support
