There should be some kind of checkbox to do this automatically when ordering season tickets. I think most of our fans would give what they're able to give if it was that easy.
We've never had 15,000 people give 100 a year to the bdc. Your can hope but it's not likely.
Can?t tie directly to the university. Has to be a separate entity.Quote:

This is the game. This is the way.
Our mentality has to be like ants (strength in numbers).
How many members do we have on this board? Why not charge everyone $20/mo and give it all to NIL? SixPack should do it too. Instead of talking about it, why not get involved? This board has a lot of tough talking fans. STFU, get involved, and then start bitching when we suck ass! Just saying, don?t be apart of the problem be the solution!
Knocking on the door of that thoughQuote:

This would be great, but it would be split among other sports. I earmark mine for football,MBK, and baseball.
$6mm divided by 85 is roughly $71k/player, so I think C34 is right?.$10-15mm/year is about right to compete in the SEC.

This should be our main focus in NIL - signing up people for monthly donations. Constant growth , like a business. The effort never ends as some would drop off, some would add? constant churn.
Realistically I think you only have to pay 35 players anything "significant". The rest are probably more like 5k per year + scholarship... but yeah the superstars are probably costing 250k+. I think 8M would be a healthy amount and is doable with the right leadership.Quote:

Edward I agree. However, don?t you think if for instanc, the NIL ?hired? sports admin interns to do 2 things
1) set up tents at every event to sign people up
2) on weekdays, cold call every person who has ever graduated from State to ask for a $10 - $100 per month commitment
That they would get good results.
It is like any sales - call 100 people, sign up 15 ( or whatever the math is).
IMO, Our way is to get small donors ( like me) involved.
Good luck with that.Quote:

Don?t make it easier. Find a better way so they have to do the same thing (hard way - one fan at a time?
