This isn't aimed at just you, but I get tired of people knocking how much money Iowa State fans donate to athletics.
For the 22-23 year per Sportico' s College financial summary

Iowa State had about $116 million of total revenue for athletics, with over $29 million from donations.
Kansas State had a just over $102 million of revenue and donations around $25 million.
If you are going to pitch the old thesis that Iowa State does a terrible job raising donations, please use something more current. I think it has almost 10 years since our donation levels were $12 million. These numbers don't even count the donations for the facilities.
Over half of the $90 million Stark building came from private donations as an example.
Bloom has indicated that over 6,000 fans have given some gift to We Will. That number is pretty close to the number of donors to the National Cyclone Club.
