Did a donor complain? Did a player? Because I'm 100% sure that tax dollars did not pay for the helmet stickers. Hell the $500K paycheck they got from UT last week is larger than the cost of all the uniforms, equipment, and operating expenses for the Ak State football program for next 5 years. Did UT complain?
Doesn't really matter which specific funds were allocated for the stickers.
I don't believe stAte's athletic department is self-sustaining, by the way. Even if it were, it would not have reached sustainability without past tax funding.

True, but what if the helmet stickers were purchased by a team member's parents? Or were purchased by a private entity which donated them to the football program?
Are the players not allowed to memorialize a teammate as they see fit if the helmet stickers were not purchased by the university?
