the alum base is wealthier than any other program in FBS…

A wealthy alum base is only helpful to the extent that they value success in athletics.  Arillaga did, and Freeman (who donated $50 million) does, and I’m sure other alums do to an extent, but I don’t get the sense that the vast majority of the alum base cares, as revealed by the fact that they have different donation priorities.  And who am I to judge what other people do with their money?
