This is sort of related to what David81 said, but Athletics has seen a surge in supporters and donors since Powell was hired. The Athletics dept as it stands has better marketing strategies and outreach programs than the academics from the looks of it! I think that the academics side needs to do better with outreach and marketing if they want to see some returns. Sitting in your office with your feet kicked back on your desk isnt going to solve this problem. You need to be out in the community, not just doing a world tour to find alumni. Get back into HS's do some service work around Valpo and Northern Indiana.

unless you work at the university, I don’t see any way to prove that.
