The MONEY of sports: VAF contributions far outpace academic donations | Charlottesville Daily Progress: "In the University of Virginia’s marathon race to raise $3 billion in private contributions, an indefatigable frontrunner is UVa’s athletics department.
The Virginia Athletics Foundation, the department’s fundraising arm, had collected $234.2 million by the end of February, representing more than 78 percent of its $300 million goal. UVa’s five-year campaign to raise $3 billion will conclude Dec. 31, 2011, and is just over halfway finished."
