A lot of the big boosters were staying at my hotel in Dallas...


Different people have different definitions of "big"

I doubt the big boosters at your hotel influence very much in the Athletic Dept.

Boosters that move the needle are big enough to fly in and out same day, not stay at a team hotel bitching about the staff to other fans at the bar

There were at least 10 bullgators there ($20,000 donation required).

I know what you're saying though, that's a drop in the bucket compared to some of the donors that give millions.

They didn't become rich by wasting money on private planes. Probably left the day before in their prius and stayed at the value inn.
