Just make sure to set it up to where I can auto-pay and don't have to remember to send it every month lmao. And count me out on private forum, everything else sounds cool.Originally Posted by ScoobaDawg
Also, why did you set it up with 2 variations of 3 different options? To see if it's easier for people to donate monthly rather than yearly?
Speak up if you have other options.
These are just ideas for getting ideas of minimums.
I'm open to ideas everyone.
Minus. The zero dollar option.
Oh I'm just saying that 50/month = 600/year.
As for ideas, shirts, username highlights, a catered festivus all sound good.
My 2 cents (or is that $120):
1. private board
2. forget about giving trinkets (magnets, etc) we don't need them and that's money that could go to NIL)
3 enhance board to include a Like/Dislike button with post results visible to all posters (see On3 board).
4. A catered dinner/lunch for members by Mississippi regions to promote MSU camaraderie toward NIL & ED (add a small cover charge to defray the cost away from NIL)
Times are changing, I get it BUT it was engrained in me that “the name on the front of the jersey means a hell of a lot more than the name on the back.” I have raised my kids the same way. Good luck with your project, but just thinking out loud here, if you have 1000 readers with only 12 votes, maybe that is because they don’t have an option in your poll to select…. Might be the answer to your poll right there.
Then as I have told you before do not complain when we go 4-8. You have no right any longer. Buying tickets and your bulldog club donation do JACK S*** to help us any longer. Move it all to NIL if you really care about the name on the front of that jersey.
I don?t complain, I have not said anything on any of my posts EVER about a player negatively or about the teams negatively. I leave that up to all of you, who I really do believe enjoy it. Some of you just complain to complain about something.
I am so glad that people feel obligated to tell others what to do with their money. I have been a lifelong State fan and alumni. I will always follow how we are doing but I guess that is the difference between being a fan and a fanatic. These ball games are an excuse for my family to get together and have a good time. That is it, win or lose we are making memories together and my kids have always said that they think of MSU football and baseball as a family event.
So VegasSteve, I appreciate your suggestion and your approval or disapproval of my opinion based solely on how much I give to your favorite sports team, but bud your opinion means about as much to me and my family as the amount of hair on a boar?s ass. Have a great day and Hail State.
Ok boomer
Boomer ?? A few decades off there. Goes hand and hand with some of your takes though.
So he donated to Bulldog club for years, bought season tickets to multiple sports for years, paid tuition for himself, (maybe kids too, IDK) showed up for years to cheer, and he can't complain anymore??? GTFO with that bullshit.
I?d def be in, but under one condition. Forget all the perks and give 100 percent of all money given to NIL.
I like the idea of check box or whatever to highlight people donating
Would it be too difficult to provide tiers of sorts? $5 or $10 gets X, $25 gets X +whatever the next level would include, and so on. Just thinking out loud.
Making a $10/month option isn't too much to ask. Give them an "NIL EliteDawg" title under their username to start with. You'd be surprised with how many would sign up for this. And pin a post at the top on how much the monthly dues are given to the NIL each month to encourage more to sign up for the $10/month option.
Merch and other benefits can be added down the road. I think starting small and growing would be the best option here to avoid sticker shock for a forum that's been free for a decade now.
I'm willing to help and support in any way.
I would skip the physical trinkets and stuff. Private forum is a good idea. Maybe the recruiting forum is only on the NIL donor board. Even if it is only $10 a month it starts to add up
So are you suggesting users of the board donate through elitedawgs instead of directly to BI? I know both is possible, but I can't do both really as I don't have much money. Right now I go through BI directly.
I honestly don't care about any perks. I just want me and everyone to do what they can to help our football, men's basketball, and baseball teams.
edited: one possible fun thing would be to make vCash be comparable to your donations. Lock it down where it can't be as taken advantage by ridiculous bets and such. Maybe still be able to use it for betting and other things, but you'd have to lock down the freebies.

I don?t know how it?ll end up but my interpretation is no you don?t do both. You just donate to ED which 100% goes to BI. So it?s really all in the same. The only difference is if you donated x amount of dollars to ED you get a private forum or some other perk here where if you donated that same x amount directly to BI you don?t get the private forum or whatever.
I do $x amount a month a month so would just cancel it directly with BI and do it here instead since it all directly goes to BI anyway
Yeah this is pretty spot on. If you don?t wanna play ball then fine, but you don?t need to try to dominate the thread with the most posts about how superior your morality is. So annoying
Where have I acted superior? I only reference you because you are telling me to give up my seats (something tangiable) and give that money to the program and then I am out of my seats which mean more to me and my family than having another free agent on the field.
You are the one acting entitled, not me, I choose where and when to give my money, not you. I am surrounded by a bunch of people who feel the same way that I do.
Superiority complex you may have but I frankly could not care less what an anonymous person in an Internet forum thinks of me. If I met you out in public, I would hold the door open for you and tell you have a nice day. I have no resentment towards you or BI. Let it do whatever it does, but when I have someone telling me what to do with my money and traditions I have a problem with that.
