They don’t even try. Perception is reality and the fans can tell that for the last while the AD couldn’t have cared less about football and other sports, just hockey.
Not so sure about that. It would be close I would guess. My point is, hockey was not self sufficient to get to where there are and football in particular would be way better off if they got to keep their other half mill a year to work with.
I don’t think it’s sustainable or flexible to over-rely on one big donor. There is also potential that other donors donate less because they figure the Engelstad family will pick up the slack.
