Alright Guys - Call to Action - Please read from the Owners

[ScoobaDawg]

First off, thanks GTown for bringing this to my attention.

The Bulldog Initivate has a group of donors who are willing to Match donations up to $1 million between now and Dec. 1st.
That's a great start. PLEASE give if you can. Hopefully BI will update that we shatter that by then.

Next, this board and NLI. I personally have been discussing this with the other owners in the background for over a year about my desiree to make this board more than it currently is.

So let's hear it from the board. I can't offer exact benefits at this time but would you be interested in a BI and ED relationship.
All donation FUNDS would go to BI, with the board taking nothing.

If so what Level would you consider donating and would you rather do monthly or yearly and also any ideas of benefits you would like to see...

Some ideas we are tossing around is username flare, access to a private board, magnets , t-shirts, and access to a private catered dinner. Working on possibly discounts around town also.

Thanks everyone. Let's do our part to step up to make BI better.

Love this, Scooba. Great work.

I like all the perk ideas...except the separate forum. Everything else would be really cool! We should've had shirts and magnets years ago, lol!

[Dawgology]

I’d be down. Annual Airing of grievances at vet park should be a benefit.

If you put stuff behind a paywall, then this forum will be just like GP and all the others. Many users would move on to other areas. I spend a ton of money at and for MSU and Internet forums won?t be apart of that money for me.

Just one simple posters opinion, I also do not contribute to NIL nor will I. I have stated that fact and reasoning numerous times before. I know others don?t agree and do contribute and that is their prerogative. Not saying it is wrong or anything just giving you an honest opinion. I may very well be in the minority here and that is fine. Good luck with whatever y?all decide to do.

I'm sorry. But this is how things are and it will not change.


Concerning the "paywall" that's the wrong way to look at it. No it will not be like gp or oc3.
It would be for info about nli. A few interviews with selected players we actually fund the nli for. And the other benefits that would be given.


It's time for people for us to get behind our sports teams.

I have 5 season tickets in 3 different sports and have had them going on 20 years. I do plenty to support our teams.

As I said before if they want to use parking passes or BDC proceeds or season tickets to help NIL then so be it. But not directly sending money to players, although I do buy stuff directly linked with players (endorsements.)

Sir,
Thank you for your support over the years. But that time is done. The playing field has changed.

If you want to be the zero dollar option. I'm sorry but don't complain about every sack our qb takes, because we missed on a true OT instead of a developmental project.
Ever time a linebacker misses a tackle or gets blown off the line. Because we again didn't get the better player.

But thanks for being at the games. The university will appreciate that but not the players.

Scoob he is not going to listen. I, and others, have made that exact point to him multiple times since NIL was introduced. He thinks we can still win with no NIL support.

The Brumfield?s are matching up to a million?the goal is $6mm

[gtowndawg]

Absolutely. Glad the board is putting a spotlight on this! Thank you!

If fans aren't willing to donate to NIL to be on this board, I don't care to see them on the board or to see their opinion

There are some people that don't have the money to pay. That's just how it is right now in this economy.

Lot of fans don?t care to see your opinion.

[TheLostDawg]

It would also help cut down on the trolls but I'm good either way especially if it were two levels, one for paid members only

[Commercecomet24]

Sounds great! Let's GO!!!

[TheLostDawg]

I wonder where they are, when they'll give a number

[Really Clark?]

Sounds like a great idea!

[SilentSteel16]

If you truly want to test the waters you would have added a (0) zero dollars option to your poll. You might be surprised by the results.

Ok. We get it.
