That in 12 days we have almost reached 2.5 million extra dollars for football and this drive is still going. Those of you who constantly down the program and our NIL suck in the game of life. Nope, we aren't Tennessee or LSU or Bama, but we are well situated in the middle of the league.
Looking at you Jean34Quote:

It is going to be a constant need....there is never an end to the $ we will need.
We have a couple of big donors that have agreed to do big money on a yearly basis. One agreed to do a million a year. We always need a lot more though.Quote:

Now we are raising money.
It's not hard to understand
We had raised $5 million before he got hired for football specifically. You didn't do shit.Quote:

Well, you can argue whether it was a stupid move or not but scUM spent more on their QB room than we did on our entire offense. And whatever they paid Tre Harris was a steal. Whatever we paid to retain Too Loose, we got robbed.Quote:

We started out from greatly disadvantaged position due to lack of vision from a previous AD, now due to the tireless efforts of two men and a new direction with support from the AD things are turning the corner for the good. But, we are still playing from behind and we absolutely do not and never will have the resources of most of the institutions in our league. The men that are moving the NIL forward are well aware of these facts and they know that we have to out work and out think the competition, that's what we do. Kudos to the gentlemen that are leading the BI keep giving it all you have, its sink or swim now in and ever evolving environment , great job y'all.
They topped out at 10 million. A lot of that I believe was borrowed. I am sure they spent a bunch of it on QB's.Quote:

Exactly! The only way to get a serious HC or keep one is go ante up with nil. No one is going to go into this without that commitment. Would be career suicide.Quote:

That is the way. It should be a campaign . I?m worried the NiL peopl see the power of this.
Is it against the rules to provide something back to the monthly subscribers? They could do like a SWAG box or something that goes up in tiers the more you donate monthly. Exclusive hats/shirts/chairs/Player signed memorabilia ect.. Something to reward people monthly to keep it fresh and keep people wanting to continue to contribute.Quote:

Nothing is against the rules. You could do all kinds of things. Meet and greet with players and coaches, autographed memorabilia based on donation level, special seats within the stadium and at different events, swag, all kinds of stuff to increase donations. You could even do a pay site/ recruiting service to see targets for recruiting. None of it could be directly associated to the university but it could be handled at a 3rd person level as a private entity.Quote:

OM does a better job getting donations from the mids.
