To my fellow Deacon Club Members:
Having forwarded a poison pen letter 8 days ago indicating that if Danny was retained I would not be getting season tickets for the first time in over 35 years and would not contribute to the basketball Shah building campaign that is soon to start. After Fridays announcement I immediately called my DC rep and asked what was the least I could send and keep my ranking points. That number is $125.00. My intention and proposal is to send a check in that amount, which I usually charge, and in the FOR____ line on the bottom left side to write that this will be my DC contribution until Danny Manning is no longer our coach.
Now I realize that the majority of the folks on the board are relatively young alums who may not have given long term to the DC but I still want to get bowl tix and other benifits based on prior given. I imagine Rhenish and Donald Ross and others are in this same condition. This is the only way that I can make clear my disgust at the recent retention. But if a great number of the people on the board and if we encourage others to do the same they will see a significant decrease and know exactly why. This is also a way to keep the pressure on so that maybe on MAy 2nd to try to recover the moneys being lost John Currie may take action. Nonetheless, I see this as the only way we can make our displeasure felt in a way that will be clear in writing and in the Deacon Club coffers. I hope folks will consider this and follow through.
