My roommate was on the track team and just graduated. Under Oakes, the only upgrade they got was a new door on their storage closet. Under Dooley, they got a new track (paid for by student assessed fees). Dooley also got rid of the condemned bleachers, and the rumor is that he is planning to build a small stadium at the track with locker rooms. Not taking a team picture is on Stanley's shoulders.
Just like as been stated, MAKE A BIG CONTRIBUTION to LTAC, go get 10 of your friends that aren't members to JOIN LTAC.
I've been out of Tech for 45+ years, and I've never been inspired to contribute when I didn't have some type of control over giving. About time we started marketing our programs.
Football>everything else.
Another thing you have to take into consideration is that DD may be the AD but he still has to justify any expenses and purchases to those above him. Maybe those above him want to revive or build the 5 most noted programs in Football, MBB and WBB, and baseball and softball. When any of those 5 starts generating enough money that some can be diverted away from that sport, I would bet that track will be pretty high on the list to receive more.
Also, the track team might see about talking with Alum from that program to raise some $$$ for uni's. Any of them could call Tim Garlington to take a team photo. All it takes is "one, two,.....and three". Sorry, most Ruston people who have had a yearbook pic will get that.

Dooley's done more with TECH in the 2 1/2 years that he's been there than just about everyone else combined in the last 20 years (maybe more, but I don't have that knowledge).
