You have the option not to donate, but as a fan, you benefit from these contributions.
The athletic department cannot function without the donations. Just because they make some stupid decisions (in YOUR opinion) doesn't mean they shouldn't be subsidized. Much of that money goes for essential support for the athletic teams which in turn, helps recruiting. The donations also come with perks, maybe not worth the amount of money donated, but some things many fans appreciate.
Just the fact that you mentioned an on-campus stadium shows how out of touch you are about how these things work.
