Carl Torbush, Liberty's assistant head football coach and linebackers coach, announced his retirement from coaching earlier today.

"We want nothing but the best for he and his family in all their future endeavors."

I know they could do a lot better and tap into a huge resource for future donations, etc. IMVVVVHO.By and large (and there is strong data to back this up), student-athlete alumni who received a partial or full scholarship for the athletic exploits are one of the hardest markets to tap for giving. The research doesn't indicate a definitive reason, but my conjecture is that it has to do with the entitlement complex that takes root in many such individuals.

It is common knowledge and he is spot on.
adam42381 wrote:Completely true. Jr doesn't like big monetary donations because he feels like it gives the donor a seat at the table. He doesn't like anyone having control other than himself (see: new logo). He believes that the Harvards and Yales and Baylors lost their way religiously because they allowed donors a seat at the table to influence how they did things.JK37 wrote:Not to mention, in the context of Liberty specifically, the highest levels of administration expressly dislike private development.
