some excerpts that i really liked.

Quote :

"The club, officially the N.C. State Student Aid Association, has become the top athletic booster among North Carolina’s major universities. It raised $25.8 million in the fiscal year that ended June 2004, the most recent data available, compared with $15.9 million for Carolina’s Rams Club and $18.2 million for Duke University’s Iron Dukes."

Quote :

"The club’s size has long been a point of pride. In the ACC, only Clemson and Florida State have bigger booster groups."

Comments on the Murphy Center.

Quote :

"With the help of his board, he set out to build a state-of-the-art field house. The project got a big assist from Murphy. Besides donating money, he lent his plane to the effort, flying members of the design committee around the country to tour other field houses. The building, which opened in 2003, has drawn envy from visiting coaches. Such football powers as Tennessee and Nebraska have sent staff for tours."

but a bunch of that money was money raised specifically to build the new shit.

wonder how much they raise in a typical year when there isn't major expansion going on.
