Plenty of donors to get to the next level, Whit focused on big donors, but
there is a great opportunity for a new AD to also build the Clemson model for small donors. I think @manassashoo said schools should be fundraising targeting big donors and also use the Clemson IPTAY model or something similar to get many small to medium donors. Start them when they graduate at a small amount, and over time they snow ball. We have almost ignored this type of fundraising under Whit.
