    Reach out to Charlie, he is taking donations. You can even request your money be allocated to a certain position or player. There is really no reason we all shouldn't give 100-200 dollars at least. Probably a couple of times a year. We can all spare $25 a month.
    This exactly! Thank you for bringing this up!

    Don't know about $25 a month.....we must have the poorest alumni base in the country. You would think the best job our graduates get are at fast food joints.

    NIL Status Feb 1 2022. Texas AM NIL collective $25 Million. Ole Miss 3 major NIL collectives. MSU efforts are not yet as organized and MSU Boosters are still trying to galvanize and understand everything in a legal way. Who should be organizing MSU Boosters and helping them understand everything in a legal way?

    Go ahead and fill us in sir. And explain Mr. Cohen's role in cutting overall costs, since you brought it up.

    We've got a few that have already pledged 6 figures.

    There is really no reason we can't get 50k people to bankdraft $25 a month. That would be 15 million a year.

    That's $300 a year. We don't have 50k that give $100 a year to the bdc. So that's quite ambitious.

    Yeah, that isn't going to happen. Needs to but it won't at that level.

    I think you will be surprised at how many fans will not give anything for NIL. There are 1000?s pulling away from College Athletics now because the amateurism is gone. Watch and see how hard it will be for grassroots fans of a school with no Medical School or Law School to get on board. First they were priced out of taking their family to games. Then for those who have a little expendable income, they got priced out of their seats. Close Parking is getting cost prohibitive. The product on the field and court has been less than pleasing except for one memorable baseball season where the average State fan mortgaged their homes to with was history. I can afford to go, but I only went to one football game, 2 basketball games and 2 weekend baseball series this year. I know most of y?all are 6 figure plus income earners and have money to burn, but the average Joe Fan of MSU never earned more that $70,000 in a year, maybe $100,000 as two wage earner families. It is correct when people say we are a poor fan base. Because we are!

    Maybe so. I think a lot of that is failed marketing too though. We don't push bulldog club membership. I've never seen a single thing marketing it. No social media, no billboard, no mass emails, nothing.
