Hmm I wonder if the AD will reach out to them to start donating after graduation... Nah. That's not their job

I thought they stopped commencements outside of the May commencement and everyone walked at that one regardless of when you graduated?

Awesome, that means the MGC should grow by about 6 people this year...

Not quite.

They've stopped having the huge University-wide commencement in the Summer and Fall. They will now have one University-wide commencement in May where nobody walks the stage. It's just a guest speaker and a little more pomp and circumstance and everyone separated by degree type.

However, those wanting to have their name called and walk the stage will still have a commencement ceremony with their respective college (Engineering, Arts & Science, Journalism, etc . . .) and those will take place in May and December.

Hope that clears it up a bit.

I was a December grad. I remember having a COBA graduation in the auditorium and then a "biggie" in the Super Pit. That was so long ago we used torches for light and the buffet at the reception was a mastadon carcass.

Nah, since I'm one of those 3,000, I can assure you the number will be no more than 2,999.

Congratulations on graduating.  Well, 2,999 to go.

Not really. One of the primary responsibilities of the AD is to develop a donating fund from the alum of the university. We (you) can blame the BOR all day and night, but the facilities are there, the salaries are there, the desire to win is there from everyone on the outside looking in. We have put together intrical pieces of the puzzle, but our hires have been dead beats. That falls on 1 man. The fundraising is absolutely pitiful. That falls on 1 man. 

Your argument might be (and rightfully so) that the BOR is enabling RV and propping him up. That may be valid. Either way, RV has to go and he has to go as soon as possible. He is a hindrance to this University. A canker sore, so to speak. And to be honest, any coach worth his salt would be bat shit crazy to take an athletic job at this University. That alone makes me skeptical of whoever does get hired.
