Root Cause Analysis of why VT's Fan Base doesn't Donate

Lot's of talk about donations being the issue with where the state of the program is today.

To fix any issue it is essential to get to the root cause of what the problem is.

To quote Albert Einstein:

If I had only one hour to save the world, I would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem, and only five minutes finding the solution.

So when performing a root cause analysis, I like to use the 5 why process (doesn't have to stop at 5). But the basic premise is that you ask a question, ask why, answer the question, and ask why again. Rinse and repeat until you cannot go back any further.

First person to answer should ask pose the question Why ?

If you do not like the answer you can pose an alternate answer in the sub thread.

I found TKP after two rails from TOTS then walking back to my apartment and re-watching the 2012 Sugar Bowl. I woke up the next day with this username.
