Can we stipulate that the donee will be obligated to root for Northwestern?

For any of you concerned about NU selling its allotment, go on to
NUSports.com and buy a donation ticket to the Sun Bowl. You can donate the
ticket to a serviceman at the nearby base, or to a student, all online. It
is only $37 and each ticket counts towards our total. You get a little
donation in before the end of the year, and maybe one of our soldiers gets
to go to a football game for free.

It felt good to do this on so many levels. Rather than complaining about
other fans, we can all do this little bit and make selling our allotment a
moot point.
