Thank you Charlie for taking the "initiative". It's clear that you well understand the forward movement of Power 5 intercollegiate athletics and, as a volunteer and passionate MSU fan, you deserve much respect and recognition for dedicating a lot of your time to this need and endeavor.

I feel that MSU's success and strategy here should be "the power of many". 5,000 giving $50-$80 per month is $3,000,000-$4,000,000 per year for a specific purpose. If communicated well and a wide net is cast, this can happen. There are many alums and fans who want to support and have pride in their school & MSU athletics but live too far away to purchase season tickets but see this avenue as a way to support and better the program. Those alums need reached and encouraged to support!
