          Two months later, and we're still waiting. Anyone know what's going on?

            I've been told there are ongoing legal discussions with major donors. So, no I don't know for sure what is going on.

                No matter how much money we have, it tough to let go of it. The year I retired I donated Daktronics and Reynold & Reynolds stock, because I cashed in my unused annual leave which was inflating my earned income.. It was some what of a wash, but there are times I wish I would hung unto the stock. This being a much larger amount of donation, there are issues that arise along the way. Lets hope the SDSU legal experts and the donors legal people can come to an agreement. The unknown donor is doing us a hugh favor by making this donation. For that we should be gratiful, and I can wait to find out the idenity of the donor. I have confidence in our foundation staff, they will not let this on slip away.

                  My guess is all the hype will come due during football season, and IMO would be great, it could lead to more donors willing to open up, espically if they team is playing well. I know it sounds bad but I think around here a lot of donors go by how well the teams are doing before they open up. So a winning program may spur a few more offers for the stadium assuming the field house has its funding ironed out by then.

                    Nah if all the "i" s' had been dotted and all the issues had been resolved, the announcement would have been made by now. There seems unlikeness that there is some master scheme such as a 8-0 record on the day of an announcement. We have discussed this before. Despite two losing seasons, attendence has increased. Maybe its individual players who are the attraction such as Dale Moss, I really don't know. There has not been any offical requests for donations for the new staduim, nor the fieldhouse, but some may have come forward despite the two losing seasons.
                    Lets take it one day at a time.

                              Did not know where to put this! Sanford's $10 million gift.

                              I Guess I put it here because I believe it is being connected to the Dykhouse when it is eventually built...and having a 80 yard synthetic field will benefit football as much as anyone else.

                              http://www.argusleader.com/article/2...news|text|Home

                              Sanford has agreed to a new deal with SDSU and is giving 10 million dollars to SDSU for Student Athlete Performance and Indoor Training Facility...

                              This comes with the added note of $8 million in private donations.



                              This is quite substantial. But I have questions for all of you.

                              What do you think of Sanford? I mean according to a KELOLand Poll, most people in Sioux Falls hate the fact that new events center is going to bare his name...Which I dont get... Didn't he just cash a check others wouldn't?

                              Do you think other projects funding will speed up with momentum being built or slow down...with the mindset of well we got that done now they won't expect more for awhile?

                              Also, 8 million dollars in private donations is huge...I think that 8 million needs to be flaunted to potential donors (kind of like saying "Look what others are doing around you.") But sadly, it seems as if it was an afterthought to what Sanford gave. Thoughts on that?

                                I'll merge this thread with one already going that discusses the indoor human performance lab and today's announcement.
