Wow, the Chronicle is just now getting this?  Most 'non-athletic' supporting faculty have been frustrated for years about this.  I have a feeling the Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics will use this to push/force their agenda

Some booster clubs, including the Tiger Athletic Foundation at Louisiana State University, have overcome that problem by allowing academic contributions to count toward premium seating and other sports perquisites. In other words, a $10,000 gift to LSU's chemistry department, for example, will help buy better football tickets.

this is kind of cool
