Summary:
Bobby Purcell, the 53-year-old executive director of the school's Wolfpack Club, has constructed one of the most prolific fund-raising operations in college sports history. Since he took over in 1997, the booster organization has raised over $200 million in donations for NC State athletics. The $27 million he raised in donations this year was a richer haul than several schools currently ranked in college football's top 10. Mr. Purcell's club recently surpassed 20,000 donors, which is more than four times as many as Ohio State.

If NC State can do this, why cant MSU?
