interesting WSJ article states that success in athletics matters more to private schools than public schools.
"In the year following an athletic success—defined as an appearance in college basketball's Final Four or a Bowl Championship Series football game—donations to private schools rose 28% from levels the year before that triumph. At public institutions, the comparable figure is about 11%."
