TAF now giving 1 point per $1,000 of "academic gifts"

I'm not familiar with TAF, but does this mean that donations to the LSU Foundation are worth the same points as donations directly to TAF?
If so, what incentive is there to donate directly to TAF? If I had money lying around, I'd rather give it to to LSU, I think.

Beginning in 2017 priority point credit for philanthropic donations to the LSU Alumni Association and the LSU Foundation is being increased from ¼ point per $1,000 donated, to one point per $1,000 donated. TAF is also working with the LSU Health Sciences Center Foundation in New Orleans and the LSU Health Sciences Foundation in Shreveport to provide priority point credit for donations made to these LSU-affiliated organizations.

Honestly I'm kind of shocked this wasn't the donation model years ago

I don't think academic donations result in the bonus points given for donating to TAF.

You get 3.2 points a year for $100 to TAF.
Edit: not sure why it's not as simple as 1 point for every $1. Wouldn't that make the most sense?

Yes. With the exception of bonus points for TAF giving (e.g. 3 points for a $100 gift to TAF).

Incentive may be the wrong way to look at it. But people will still want to support athletic programs.
This is all part of a larger effort to streamline LSU into the "One LSU" model.

Since TAF sends money to the academic side, but the academic side doesn't send any money to the athletic side, I wonder what incentive there is to donate to the academic side, except if you want it going to a specific college or program.

Honestly thats probably not good enough. Academic side at LSU is suffering a lot.
