For the first time in my life, I’m feeling like a bit of a sucker here. I donate a nice chunk of my hard earned money every year to our Fb and b-ball programs. I go to every home game for both. When I am asked to donate for other projects, I give. I used to justify all of this losing, by saying that it wasn’t just about wins and losses, but giving money to less fortunate student athletes to get a degree.
For whatever reason, including what appears to be apathy by our athletic department and laziness with their hires as of late, the worm has turned in my mind. I’m having a hard time as of late justifying the amount of money I am donating for the product we are displaying on the field. If this were a stock on the market, why would I keep investing in it if it was losing for 17 straight years? Shouldn’t there be some payout at some point in terms of success?
I don’t see any change in sight. While on the one hand, I’m proud to see that our educational reputation has increased substantially, on the other hand, this feeling of disappointment just two weeks into the season, is overwhelming to me.
I’m struggling with the idea of having to write another big check to support this product. There is nothing that demonstrates to me that any changes in strategic planning are forthcoming. Same plus same equals same. I don’t see how we can ever compete again with the current administrative mindset . And knowing that and feeling that just sucks.
