Not knowing the exact number of living RU alumni, but if just half of them donated just $100 that might cover the buyout or a good chunk of it. I know it is a crazy idea, but this is a sh*t show that RU may never recover from.
Why not start a Crowdfund to payoff the buyout?
- Thread starter RU from Jersey_rivals
- Start date
Our alumni don’t care about RU. And they care even less about RU football.
The amount of money we raise would be the only thing that’s more embarrassing than today’s result.
Why would half the alumni throw in money?
We’ve probably got about 30,000 ‘good’ fans, or 5% of 600,000 living alumni.
You’re greatly overestimating the number of alumni who actually care about this stuff and who would contribute.

Yes. In a more typical situation with our big 10 peers, they probably actually might have athletics fan interest for up to 25-50% of their alumni base and then from there, it’s anybody’s guess what percentage have the finances and willingness to throw money in. But whatever those numbers are, here it is a fraction because of the decades of losing.
No I don’t think he is
we are literally the worst P4 football team right now and most alums just don’t care
That’s basically what I implied. That most alums don’t care and won’t contribute to a fund me account. It’s a waste of time.
There is another challenge. Many people would not blindly throw money in without knowing who will replace him.
