Amazing! Success in basketball has a positive effect on fundraising. Go figure.

If the current board is anything like previous boards, the trustees probably wouldn't bother reading it.

Like JC64, I don't think this would have any impact on the board. What might show them something and spur more investment in athletics is for fans to take matters into our own hands and build a booster club that supports our teams they way they should be supported. Build from the ground up. Show them there is some reason to believe their investment would pay off. Athletics is working to re-launch the fund (again) and get staffing to manage it. It's up to alumni and sponsors to support it.

LOL I knew this post was coming!! In fairness, we are way bigger than Gonzaga as is. It's just that we could raise a hell of a lot more money than we do currently if athletics got national attention.
