Or, conversely, continue to give money, stop bitching, go to the games, show nothing but support, and the administration will say "There are no consequences to keeping Hawkins, so why fire him?"
It works both ways. We've tried EVERYTHING to let the administration know that we're pissed. We've called. We've e-mailed. We've sent letters. We wore blue to the games. We've called radio shows. We've bitched on bulletin board sites. Nothing seems to be getting through to them. What's left? At some point, when your lover ignores you long enough, you have to realize that he/she doesn't love you as much as you love him/her. I've come to that conclusion. CU simply doesn't give a damn about me. Well, if they don't give a damn about me, why in the world should I give a damn about them? I'll still go to the games, but my emotional investment in this program has come to an end. With the emotional investment gone, the financial investment is pretty easy to give up as well.
