way to show your conviction. Maybe target 5 million to get taken seriously. It could be done. Maybe start with 2000 people donating $2,500 each. It could be called the Fire Fu Fund. The FFF! Then agree to donate it to the Athletic Fund ear marked towards the new coaches fund. I'm serious, rather than bitching and taking your ball and going home, take the money you are going to withhold and put it to use for your cause.
Just and idea. Action rather than talk or just a "petition".
