The BC athletic department has alienated alumni for the better part of the last decade. My interaction with those in the athletic department has been terrible.<br /><br />There have been well documented rifts between former members of the athletic department and very large donors. Much of this was due to the departures of two coaches who not only enjoyed a certian level of success but were in some circles very popular.<br /><br />In addition to this I am sure that the Spaz years drove many away. I am sure that I am not the only one who gave up tickets and stopping giving. I live no more than 15 minutes from BC and just couldn't stand how I was treated there. That is in addition to the abysmal performance on the field.<br /><br />Bottom line there is a new regime and it is up to Bates to get alums to pony up for these big ticket improvements. He needs to sell sell sell. A one pager in a BC magazine is not enough.Big Ernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942678584223645005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-60928556289140805622014-09-11T07:20:33.890-04:002014-09-11T07:20:33.890-04:00For those who get the magazine, it's on page 7...For those who get the magazine, it's on page 79.bceagle91https://www.blogger.com/profile/18446254913561224783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-59855906597595996512014-09-10T22:22:37.055-04:002014-09-10T22:22:37.055-04:00I was on the fencing team and it sure felt like we...I was on the fencing team and it sure felt like we got minimal funding.

1 I was on ...I give to the Flynn fund for 2 reasons<br />1 I was on the golf team, years ago we had our own fund, the Samson Fund, to raise money for the team. A number of years ago the school consolidated it into the Flynn fund. I assume they did this w/ similar funds for other non revenue sports,<br /><br />2 I am passionate about BC football and basketball, and want to support them so I give. There has only been one time over the years that I've felt compelled to contact the AD over an issue, and that was dumping Donahue. I got a response from the department acknowledging my concern. I think allot of other Flynn fund members were doing the same thing, and so we got the result we desired. <br /><br />Just my perspective.Hoibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681823413809048599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-12270174476653473972014-09-10T17:01:09.692-04:002014-09-10T17:01:09.692-04:0034b:

That's it. Ok, I'll spring for some merchandise too. Flynn Fund? yuk yuk yuk.....nyet.<br /><br />I think, at least, for football and hoops, those sports should be revenue positive and not be in need of my money. I really cannot even concieve of giving the big sports money. <br /><br />I think Hockey should be able to pay for itself too.<br /><br />As for the other sports, save money and cut the expensive ones. Switch them to club status. BC should give minimal funding to these:<br /><br />Baseball<br />Cross Country<br />Fencing<br />Golf<br />Sailing<br />Skiing<br />Swimming & Diving<br />Tennis<br />Track & Field<br /><br />Sorry Brad.mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-41337392082572944712014-09-10T15:45:47.100-04:002014-09-10T15:45:47.100-04:00i did not see the article on the link you provided...i did not see the article on the link you provided. maybe you can supply a better, more precise link.mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.com
