Here is my question. What is stopping fans from creating their own booster club. If somebody wanted to raise money strictly for baseball could they not open a gofundme and then hand the check over to Dave Van Horn or whoever your baseball coach is?


Because a coach can't just go out and hire a contractor to start tearing down and building shite without the approval of his Administration. So, that check would just get handed over to the Administration, and they'd do with it as they see fit. Funds being donated for one project and then being routed to other projects happens at every school, unfortunately.

Which sucks. Athletic departments should have project specific crowdfunding where you can donate and get additional perks based on your level of donation. They could have a meter showing the progress towards a certain monetary goal.

The university does this type of fund raiser all the time. I don't know why the athletic department can't/won't allow it's donors to have more control of where their money goes.
