Aston left here for North Texas⌠She isnât making a mill at Texas either, 600K⌠Butler was making 250K plus before an extensionâŚ[/quote]I think good olâ Roy also makes about $250,000 if you look at his base salary because like these ladies they are all state employees.
I thought I had seen an article putting Butler in that bracket too, but I canât find anything now.
Either way, it is safe to say that Butler doubled her salary and Aston did one year at North Texas to be closer to her parents (yeah, right), and then went to Austin for huge money. We cannot match these checks.[/quote]
Thats all well and good, but donât make s*** up to prove a point. Ashton has a 600k per year job and Butler 500⌠together they are a millionâŚ[/quote]If we all quit making shit up to prove our points this would be a lonely place. ;D Besides, the real point is not how much money, but that we cannot compete with what they were offered so we lost them.

We agree on this part⌠But the chicken vs. egg theory NWA mentioed before holds true⌠Is the lack of available funds needed to keep these coaches on the AD or is the AD simply handcuffed by lack of funding??
I understand all of what you said. This is the only thing I want to point out though. If we have limited resources, who does that fall on? I agree she has done well with what she has and agree with much of what you said.[/quote]This is one of my biggest frustrations too. It is a real chicken or the egg situation and we do not seem to make any progress on it. If we win more, we should get more donations, but to win more we need more money to hire better coaches. I know the 49er Club is responsible for developing membership and they report up to Judy, so it is ultimately her job, but I think they do about as well as the alumni association (which isnât all that great), so is it their efforts or do our alumns/fans just not pony up the bucks? I donât know. I hope football really helps.[/quote]
Me too. Looking at the giving is really the part that gives me the most concern about her leadership. It is hard to figure. IMO she focuses too much on being buddies and getting the big donors and we ignore the smaller donors. If you become buddies or friends with them they take care of you which is nice, but not one single time did someone talk to me about increasing my giving or anything like that. In all honesty it is amazing we have been able to launch football with contributions half of what they were 5-6 years ago. We just have not cultivated a donor base and we rely on her big donors.[/quote]
Not to be morbid, but the thing that concerns me when looking around at the other folks at pre-game dinners is their age. In 10 years a significant majority of those folks wonât be making donations anymore. Those are the people I see Judy glad-handing the most. More effort needs to be made to recruit the midlife crisis level donors, people who have disposable income at that point in their careers, and another 20 years of giving left on them.

Yup - again they concentrate on the high level donors and not building and cultivating a donor base. Works for awhile, but you arenât building and connecting with those that could be big donors later in life. Better to put in the work when they are young than trying to woo them when they are 50.
