Yes, but again a significant portion of those student attendees:
- Attend games socially, not because they are sports fans. No different from people who attend high school or professional sports events.
- Will graduate and leave the state, decreasing the chance that they donate even if they are big fans.
- Will graduate and stay in state and are fans, but have a job that doesn't pay enough or doesn't allow them the time to take advantage of the benefits of donating.
We're not attracting a "donor class" for whom the donation is a status signal either (think Texas/A&M, Bama/Georgia/LSU, OSU/Michigan etc). So the big earners who move here from outside Iowa, at places like Wells Fargo and Principle for example, aren't inclined to become donors for social status.
