Sad part is that it'll work. A lot of adults have a very weird relationship with their college, and a lot of their ego tied up in their school's national reputation. Athletics are a huge part of that, so I don't doubt people will pay up to try and beat Auburn, or whatever.

Donor base can be tapped out. If they don't like the coach they can stop contributing too.

Most Memorable Bobcat Events Attended
2010 97-83 win over Georgetown in NCAA 1st round
2012 45-13 victory over ULM in the Independence Bowl
2015 34-3 drubbing of Miami @ Peden front of 25,086

I would guess that many/most of their donors never went to the school
