If you donate to the Wooden Athletic Fund, this year you received your great gift in the mail a day or two ago:

I'm at a loss for words.
Apparently if you make a donation to WAF, which is supposed to support our athletes, you get some bamboo with the world's tiniest UCLA ribbon running through it.
Great job, Morgan Center. Nice to know the salaries you are being paid to come up with good gifts for the donors turn into a mat we could have picked up at the dollar store. If you were on the beach, it doesn't stand out in saying "UCLA." Marketing opportunity = lost.
Of course this is the same administration that tried to sell people "Horizon Club" and "Premium" seating, and didn't even have seat cushions out for people to try them.
WAF members, tell us if you appreciate the gift or anticipate it falling apart after the first use.
