For those not familiar its a 24 hour online only donation drive for the entire school. What's cool is you can see where people are donating..
So far overall Athletics is leading overall followed by theater in total donation. This has been flip flopping
Football leads in athletics and basketball is last
Basketball has little to no backing from an alumni stand point right now

People back a winner, plain and simple. And Neu, staff, and players are energetic and accessible. Basketball.....

Jimmy doesn’t Tweet. Doesn’t do public speaking. Doesn’t do any kind of outreach (other than being told to for this thing and is uncomfortable and lacks charisma) and doesn’t win anything of consequence. I can’t for the life of me understand why there’s just not much energy for basketball.

What I dont get is why does someone in the basketball program not follow footballs lead. What football is doing is working everyday we get something from the coaches players support staff etc. You look at basketballs Twitter feed and it's a retweet nothing original nothing ever from whit or the players unless it's forced. The only thing you ever get is if sportslink does it

They should change this to "Ball State: One Day We Might Actually Win Some MAC Tournament Games"

Football dropping a video every hour meanwhile just constipated Jimmy doing his required work

Not surprising. After all, Theatre and Dance has only two less MAC tourney wins than Men's Basketball over the last ten years.

At present, the Men's Swimming and Diving Team, which is a non-scholarship sport, has nearly twice as many donations (by volume, not dollar amount) as the Men's Basketball Team. If that doesn't scream apathy, what does? I'm so glad I was at BSU while Bonzi was there and people gave a shit.

Honestly and seriously though, Mens Basketball's ranking among all the sports, departments and other entities in the associated donations is truly, truly pathetic, given all the advantages basketball has. Of course, I knew things were bad with the programs interest and support, but the situation is just unbelievable. If that doesn't spur Goetz to action, nothing ever will.

Yeah, this is moving from apathy to boycott.

Wait....surely there is a glitch in the system that is under-reporting all the Mens BB donations? I mean, after Whitford's stirring invocation of all the MAC West division success and all the thrilling memories that must have inspired?
