I always make my Varsity Club donation in May or early June. After the spring football game fiasco this year, I've decided to cut it by 10%. I'm going to send along a note to Fred explaining that I expect a spring football game as part of my overall football package. If IU can't deliver, I'm going to adjust accordingly.
It wasn't just the irritation of the last-minute cancel. It was the lack of initial promotion and then seeing that a select group was indeed allowed to be there. It kind of solidifies for me that the athletic department was looking for a way to not have to put in the effort from the get-go.
A couple hundred bucks less is piss-dribble for Fred and the VC I know but it will make me feel better to at least make a symbolic stand.
