The "yet can't pay players" tag is dead on.

Wonder if Clawson feels any pressure? All this response and he hasn't coached a single game at WF! Hope produces big results. Imagine what actually winning might produce.

I would hope the money deposited in his bank account and his natural desire to win would be pressure enough.

Yeah, me too. But expectations can create a fear of losing and we are well acquainted with what that can do to play-calling.

Are you suggesting that donations should go into the players' pockets?

I'm suggesting that players should get paid. Athletic departments accept multimillion dollar donations, yet complain that they'd have to shut down football if they had to pay players.

But why bring that up on a thread about donations?

It's money that comes into the athletic department.

Pointless thread derail.

I'm suggesting that students should get paid. University academics accept multimillion dollar donations, yet complain that they'd have to shut down if they had to pay students.

See what I did there? I think players should get more than they do (or at least be able to go out to dinner once in a while like normal college kids), but donations aren't the issue. Revenues are.

So refresh my memory... How much was the Sutton gift and is it also going to this football center? Haven't heard where that fits in to the $10 mill recently rounded up.
