I hate we can not play games under the lights due to how it looks on ESPN and the fact the drawings for the upgrades don't include a new lighting situation

Folks, It is simply that we are not raising money for athletics fast enough. We are short while academic fundraising is WAY ahead of schedule. We need ALL to participate and give. Believe me I have been in many meetings and it comes down to lack of pledges. I truly wish I had a better story for us. Please consider being part of the solution.
Go Cats!

Is it possible that folks gifts are defaulting to academics when they are giving to the general fund. Maybe folks think they are giving to athletic and the money goes to academics. A part of the recent campaign was supposed to be athletics and part was for academics. So if 40 percent of the money is supposed to go to athletics are they not dividing it up 40 percent to athletics and 60 percent academics when someone donates to the general fund or are they saying that the person did not specify so it all gets put into the academics bucket. That would skew the numbers a lot because many people don’t specify where there gifts go but if the campaign says so much for each designated area, ethically it should be divided up percentage wise. I bet something like that might be happening because it does not make logical sense that we have raised $36 million in the campaign so far but less than $4 million has been given to athletics out of the total.

You are incorrect on several points. 1. The mix is not an error or miscoding. I can promise you. 2. The number you quoted for athletics is way off. North of 6M at present with a need of 30M.
We were scheduled to break ground this month. That will unfortunately not happen.
We really need to step up or we are at risk.
This is our 50th year anniversary of our current stadium casa. 🤷🏻♂️
If any of you would like to discuss my number is 614.679.5483 Cell. We need to be part of the solution.

Why can’t the chancellor loan the athletic department the money until the money is raised? Also, UNC Charlotte got the state to allocate money for their football stadium expansion. Why can’t we go that route or at least try.

It just does not make logical sense that we have raised $36 million or so and only $6 million is for athletics. Only 1/6th of the money raised is designated for athletics? How does one donate to the athletic only part of the campaign? I have seen nothing about the campaign. You can blame me for that if you want, but I have seen nothing. Please let me know how to give please. If I could, I would designate any money I give just to the football stadium expansion.

I do know that the NC General Assembly allocated money to UNC Charlotte for athletics facilities caught everyone by surprise -- including the UNC System Board of Governors. Our folks were strongly making the case for state money for WCU athletics facilities, but the legislature adjourned without taking any action regarding budget adjustments. I feel sure our people will take it back up with the legislature when its back in session.
