All of us on here WERE and ARE sports fans. But you're ignoring all of the people who weren't and aren't. Odds are most of us didn't spend a lot of time with them. You are speaking to your experience and you're ignoring that yours may not be the experience for most Purdue graduates.

If sports are such a priority for our almuni and students, then why are only 9,000 people members of John Purdue club out of an alumni base of hundreds of thousands? Keep in mind you can be a member for $200/year.

Agreed!

" the majority of the students and alumni really don't give a rats ass about athletics." I couldn't disagree more. The majority of students and alumni don't care about sports? I must not have been friends with you. Yes not everyone is a sports fan but when you're at Purdue, sports becomes a very important part of the social fabric. My wife doesn't care for sports but she was at every breakfast club and football game. Once you graduate those sports are the main way you stay connected to your alumni base. Some of us live in various parts of the country so seeing the Boilers play is our main connection.

I don't know this but here is a hunch I guarantee (easy to do with nothing on the line) that alumni donations are up when Purdue sports are up and are down when Purdue sports are down. If there is even a remote correlation there then yes, sports become a very important direct and indirect revenue stream and the BOT know this!!
