Does that mean you were yelling in a half - empty building, without a band??

I am not sure if anyone even bothered to watch/listen last night, but Kale went on about a 3 minute rant about not being able to charter a flight back from Dayton. The team had to fly commercial the next day. He mentioned "we are probably the only school in the A10 that has to do that". He then also mentioned the budget (or lack thereof) and how it was small compared to other schools. He then plugged the Explorer fund and how donations to that improve things like being able to charter flights, etc. He said it was his job as fundraiser for the explorer fund that he needs to find and develop donors like that, but it is hard. My take on it was that it was an excuse for the very poor season "G" is having and how hard it is for the program to compete with other schools. If he is the (only?) fundraiser for the fund, it should be top priority for him to cultivate donors, not make excuses. He wears alot of hats and there is no bigger fan of the school, but maybe its time to bring in an actual development officer, not just add it to his list of duties (teaching classes, announcer, etc.)

I was only half listening but I thought he inferred that some of them may have been donors or G was talking to them as part of a plan to increase donations for the program. I believe that's when Kale started talking about not having a charter, how expensive it is etc.

4ever left LaSalle University and LaSalle High School $10 million a piece when he passed away, and I'm not 100% sure, but I think the money towards the University was to be used for the basketball program only. I know $10 million doesn't pay for an arena, but it's a nice chunk. Plus the word is La Salle receives none of the money if they don't raise a certain percentage. 4ever wanted to make sure La Salle worked for the money. Lest we forget ... there is already a major donation ( funded by pre-paid life insurance ) specifically earmarked for a new Arena.

How major are we talking? Like mid-major? Power conference-major?

not arguing the accuracy, but we haven't even had a reporter to do a game story to comment on the facility yet and Jensen came out with a right hook straight from the bell

Michelle Obama didn't know what the hell the building actually was, she finally settled on "gym." Albatross would have worked too...
