Donations to Tiger fund set record : GoMemphisTigers : Your leading source for The University of Memphis Tigers: "A bad economy and the departure of basketball coach John Calipari didn't slow down the University of Memphis' athletic fundraising efforts during the last fiscal year.

The Tiger Scholarship Fund announced Monday a record $7 million in donations, shattering last year's previous record of $6 million. Athletic director R.C. Johnson said he was elated with the 16.7 percent increase, which will help cover athletic scholarship costs estimated at $7.5 million for the 2009-10 academic year."
