MWC schools donations #s

What?

Dude go sniff some more glue.

Pledges? All your CSU money is basically just "Pledges". Where is the cold, hard cash???

You've unintentionally embarrassed and shamed CSU with your post. Your money just isn't even really there....

Wyoming, in contrast, has cold hard, currency, originating from gas and oil money. And rich donors like the Taggarts are throwing money at the university. Meanwhile, CSU is desperate to get its crumbling infrastructure up to code. CSU needs to spend millions to make its outdated campus safe, before it is condemned by the local county and city. Some of the building on campus have been quietly roped off and prohibited from use until they are made safe.

CSU is in a desperate situation, no doubt. And CSU should be commended for trying to spend millions, just to make its campus safe, and up to code. But please don't keep posting "pledges" and act like CSU has that money in the bank. CSU is basically in a hole right now. It will take a lot for them to dig out.

Exactly.

 

Lol @ Wyoming raising 1/3 what CSU did.

 

They are 1/3 the University though so it makes sense

So that money is all in hand?

Or is a big chunk of that in te form of "pledges" which is not even real?

Just curious because it seems like someone linked an article that indicated that to be the case.

Yes.....  CSU is notorious for trying to say that PLEDGES = dollars.

 

They are desperate to update their campus, because of the many building code violations.  Some of CSU's campus has been roped off until it is updated.  Very embarrassing for CSU.

No isht, this guy I an embarrassment to CSU.

He makes the GO STATE!!!1!!! guy look like a Mensa member.

 

And that's not easy.

 

Kudos for CSU for having such brilliant alumni and being the "#1 academic school in the conference and it's not even close."

Boom goes the dynamite.

You're an ass.

You make up bullshit on here and are byu fan. Show me where campus is roped off unless it's brand new construction.

I know you are a trolling piece of crap but not everyone is on to your pathetic act.

CSU can't claim they have donations until they are under contract. Which means they have it.

At that point if CSU doesn't get the money there is recourse to obtain it. This is for academic donations only

$16,000,000 has been pledged to the stadium but the process is different from what I am told.

$24,000,000 is in the bank for the new stadium.

So that's $40,000,000 that's been raised for the new stadium.

You actually went down for 2013 with $72.4

 

CSU has been the highest in the conference for donations for probably the entirety of it's existence. The stadium hasn't been that big of a difference

 

Let's look at this closely.  CSU has a College of Veterinary Medicine which I think no other MWC member has.  It has major significance for CSU.   They alone raised over $40 million in contributions.  If you take that away, your contribution totals would be moderate.  SDSU doesn't have a professional school such as that so a contribution of $90 million spread out from all campus departments, is significant.

Agree that is significant. But there are more ways to get $$$ when you have a university in the largest state in the nation.

And you can't knock CSU down a peg because we have a veterinary medicine school. To CSU's credit, it's one of the best in the nation.

FWIW

 

SDSU has raised $494 Million since 2007 ...

http://newscenter.sdsu.edu/sdsu_newscenter/news.aspx?s=75010

 

"SDSU is one of three schools to be honored with the 2014 Educational Fundraising Award for overall performance for public research and doctoral institutions with endowments under $250 million.  Stony Brook University and Colorado School of Mines were also recognized in this category."

 

“San Diego State University was selected by a volunteer panel of judges for overall fundraising performance based on three years of data,” said Brian Flahaven, director of legislative, foundation and recognition programs for CASE. “Out of 450 eligible higher education institutions, SDSU was one of 46 institutions nationwide selected to receive this well-deserved recognition.”

There are only about 28 vets school in the US right now.  Harder to get into a VET school then it is medical school in the US

I certainly won't criticize CSU for having a school of veterinary medicine. However, I'd rather SDSU opened a law school, about which there has been some speculation since UCSD doesn't have one either. The issue is donations and vets just don't make much money in comparison to lawyers.

 

As to academics in general, as one pundit put it last year, however arbitrary it might be, once you become a USNWR national university, the next cutoff is to be among the top 200 and then among the top 100. SDSU continues to move up the chart but I'm not sure we'll ever make the top 100. CSU, OTOH, is only 21 notches from that level, which figures to carry a lot of weight with B12 presidents when their big expansion comes up circa 2025.

Boom goes the dynamite.

Sure bud. You do know there are 23 Cal Sate campuses and 10 UCs, right?

Agree.

It's interesting because to become a USNWR national university you have to have a certain level of research activity. Once the very high research activity is reached a university will find itself at or near the top 100 ranking. CSU is currently rated as a VHRA university which should help the next time the chairs are shuffled.

If CSU can raise $110,000,000 for its new stadium the B12 will also be interested that too.

The only reason CSU is even spending money is to keep up with the rich neighbors to the north. If we didn't drop 500 million on the Hathaway scholarship fund, spend(not get pledges, but break ground and build) 700 million in facilities, and increase our endowments by 125 million since the early 2000's, CSU wouldn't be doing a damn thing. Add it up CSU 500 + 700 + 125(with no sign of slowing down)=1.325 billion dollars. You've still got some work to do.

 

They're taking out loans(bonding) and trying to pay them off just to keep up. That's the record 135 million is to pay off the 784 million in bond debt they took out to keep up with Wyoming.

 

I like how CSU brings up this spin campaign the same day the newspaper prints the 10 percent progress they've made getting HALF WAY to the cost of a new stadium.

 

Spin, spin, spin.....24 million in three years is major progress.
