Buff Club Letter

[buffwoman526]

Just received in the mail. I assume all season ticket holders received it as well.

Quotable portions:

We recognize your passion and desire for excellence is displayed with your financial investment and is a strong statement of the meaningful role you would like to play when determining the success of our programs.

Quite frankly, both DD and I sent separate emails and never even received the canned Bohn response for either of them.

Our expectations are high and we continue to work hard to maintain our vision of being a premier athletic department.

huh?

Seating and parking contributions associated with football are not increasing for the 2010 season.

Smart decision there.

We are requesting that al of our Buff Club members match their 2009 giving and consider making an additional 10% philanthropic gift to the Student Athlete Excellence Fund.

Now that makes me feel guilty for my decision not to renew my season tickets.

On a serious note, I will be sending a nice letter in their return envelope that does not consist of money at this time. It is all I can think of to do. Maybe someone will take note since emails have gone unanswered.

As for donations to the CU Foundation, I have not made a decision on that as of yet. I am currently ignoring those phone calls until I do make a decision.

As a season ticket holder, I havn't seen this letter yet.

So they recognize that the $$$ given to the AD is a "statement" of a meaningful role that we would like to play when determining the success of their programs.

Sounds to me like they may also be saying, You don't donate enough $$$ to have a say in all of this, so we'll make the decisions for you.

As for "Their Expectations" I see this as an attempt to gloss over what they have already failed to accomplish with the football program.

Seating & Parking contributions? WTF? Didn't realize my purchase of season football tickets and parking were now considerd to be in the form of a contribution.

Hmmmmmmm

[mdelpizzo_1]

They arent talking about the tickets they are talking about the mandatory donations for certain parking lots and seats.

What happens if you're still pissed in January?

Well it will be difficult but I will not be renewing this year, or donating until the zen master is gone.

Got my letter today, but no phone call. And since I don't use any of the parking lots, they will not be getting any donation.

absinth - Thanks for clearing that up as the letter did as well.

Just curious. For everyone who is telling CU they will not renew until Hawkins is gone.

What happens if he wins the Big12 North next year. Does your statement still stand?

No.

Just as I would hope that Hawk having another losing season in 2010 would mark the end of your support of him as head coach and remove any doubt the guy can get it done at CU.

[Bolond]

Well, I can just put that letter in the bowl that the CU program is in at the moment, the toilet, or I can finally accept the fact that I'm a lousy fan, and most of the problems are due to me not falling in line with the University's concept of a successful program.

Didnt say I wouldn't re-up on my donations, I plan to; just wanted to squawk at them a little bit. I'll come round by signing day.

What happens if I find a bag loaded with $10 million in my back yard this weekend...

I won't be working next week, that's for sure.
