Would you donate if it was exclusively for a new library?

I would, if I knew that's 100% what it was designated for. Middleton is a shite hole and has been for decades, but I don't trust F'King Alexander and the leadership he has in place to actually build a new library, regardless of how much they raise. Rather, I see him doing what he tried to do with Tiger Band several years ago, and take money given for one thing (Tiger Band) and try to funnel it somewhere else (School of Music).

People have a right to do whatever the hell they want with their money. And TAF can and should spend that money on Athletics. They have absolutely no obligation to do anything else with it. For those that don't understand the benefit that a successful Athletics program has on the University as a whole, ask Bama about the upgrades to facilities, admissions, and overall academics since little Nicky got to campus.

All that being said, I'm willing to bet people who never give to academics would be willing to donate to a campaign specifically to replace Middleton. That place is horrendous, and people aren't wrong when they say it needs to be replaced. They are wrong when they say Athletics has any obligation to get involved.
