You just synopsized the discussions Chip and I had. My concern,
was that I find the HC method of handling "targeted" donations analogous to the United Way. Once a donation given directly to the HC goes in the "Big Pot," a donor has no real assurance that the donation was in addition to the budgeted amount. Going via Chip and Coach Pete, I know my donation is in addition to the amount budgeted by the AthDept. Again, for me at least, it is a matter of trust. For years, I would get donation figures from the HC, and then from UA. And, they never agreed. Yet, the HC falls under UA.
And, a shout out to @Federal Hokie for the post, and you for spotlighting it. I'm sticking with VTChip.
