If you have passion for BYU, you have a right to voice your opinion. 71 has more passion for BYU than some guys that donate more than he does, and some guys that donate a lot less than 71 have more passion than he does. If 90% of your casual wear is BYU gear, you plan your vacations around BYU games, and you can name the starting QB's for each year going back to 1972, then you have every right to voice your opinion for BYU no matter how much you donate. |

I have a relative who is well connected. He is very much "in the know" of things that happen at BYU and in the church.
Over Thanksgiving, I mentioned to him that Jerry Jones annouced the $100,000 donation requirement for the rights to purchase the best seats in the Cowboys new billion-dollar stadium. We got into a discussion similar to this thread. He told me that every year, the Legacy donors and other prominent members of the church that have ties to BYU are solicited for additional donations, and every year, over $50 million is raised for the university. |

BYU gets nowhere close to $50M per year in donations to athletic department. Maybe 1/10th of that. |

He said the university, not the athletic department.

I have no way of knowing, but $50MM a year in donations, particularly repetitive ones, seems awfully high. Santos may know for sure since he seems to have access to the LDS Church accounting database. But I would venture to guess that $50MM is high.

Not the athletic department, but the whole university.
