I posted this on another thread, then started thinking about it seriously.
Is it possible, at this late date, to set up donation stations at each entry gate to collect contributions towards Urban's fine? Less than thitry five cents per ticket holder would absolve Urban of financial responsibility and send a GREAT message to him about how much he is appreciated by the fan base. Anybody know how to get Foley to look at the possibility? That would also give espn and the haters something to whine about next week... I actually LOVE the idea! ____________________________________________ "Denial is the opiate of the insecure." "Forgiveness is the essence of Christianity." |

I think he makes enough to afford the donation to charity.

I think it's a cool idea. I might be able to find 35 cents somewhere....

That would be great. I think a donation to the university's general scholarship fund in the amount of 30K on behalf of Urban Meyer would be a more classy move. I'm sure he can handle his fine. and our tax dollars, to some degree, are already paying that fine.

Just make it a fund raiser for a food drive in recognition of the coach. I'll chip in. I bet we could raise quite a bit of funds for a worthy cause.
It would need to be registered with the state. |

Sigh. Our tax dollars do not pay Urban's salary. He is an employee of the private UAA. CBS/ESPN/Boosters...that's who's paying the fine.    |

GREAT IDEA! I even think Urban would like a donation more than paying him back! How about an online link to donate! Someone on another post suggested that.

I'd be willing to bet that the UAA pays the fine anyway. No way Foley lets Meyer pay that, considering the softness of the offense.

I can't believe you would start a thread like this in these economic times.
Some of us have to focus our finances on much more serious issues...like SEC championship tickets. |

Remember ... the point is to send a message to the SEC so we have to craft it that way. Something like SEC Fines For Scholarship Donation.

Your tax dollars do not fund a dime of Urban Meyer's salary. They do not fund a dime of the athletic budget at UF. On the contrary, the UFAA donates millions back to the University every year. That is well documented, and you can look at their financial statements online if you are curious about it. link  "You know much that is hidden, O Tim" "Quite" |

Anyone on this board whose job involves fundraising? We need a start.
TN Swampthing P.S. They are STILL obsessed with us on local sports talk radio here in Johnson City. The hosts and callers are talking about us much more than the Vols. I've had to quit listening. It's that bad now. |

If you can't come up with 50 cents worth of love for Urban, you need to turn in your Gator card.... ____________________________________________ "Denial is the opiate of the insecure." "Forgiveness is the essence of Christianity." |

A simple explanation works just fine. Thanks for the predictably dorky overreactions though.
