from my house ceased in 2004 (see above). The only thing they get from me is the $50 from my Auburn license plate and I'm reconsidering that purchase next year when it expires.

I feel your pain. Our 2 sons have 3 degrees from AU, and we are very proud of them and the education they received - but it came at a big price. It would be great if a big portion of the athletic funds went back to the university for 'real' education, wouldn't it? It just seems obscene to me to pay coaches so much money then turn around and raise tuition, nickel and dime families for more 'fees', etc.
