Big $$ Donors

[ColoradoHAWKEYE]

I have always wondered if we have any big donors who would actually have a voice to be heard. I know the Krause family but beyond that I am in the dark as to how many of them there truly are and do they ever voice their opinion to Barta.With as much money that the program generates from tv, merchandise, and fans in attendance, I wonder if that is where the majority of the cash cow rests!?

I gotta believe the BTN and conference revenue split ratchet the initial $, but that is spread fairly equally throughout the conference... which I think ironically has helped bring parity to the conference thereby watering down some of the upper tier school's strongholds. So to move us into that top 10-15 money ranking, that has to come from current donors and a large base of established trusts.

However, as mentioned elsewhere, butz in seats is a variable revenue stream that the mid-tier season ticket buyers have the most control over............of course we can always do a kick starter program and get 75,000 supporters to kick in $200 each!
