Oak View manages many properties and it's that large number that produces a profit and the amount ascribed to any one property is not large. Asking them for large contribution makes no sense. Any collective dedicated to URI MBB has to be rooted in those that are committed to URI and have strong bonds to the University. Fans and friends of URI have to put their money where their mouth is and not expect groups detached from URI to do so.The key metrics will be the participation level %, the average gift size and number of deep donors. All you need is to find one significant angel which will more than offset URI's weaker numbers versus say Dayton. It can be done.
