Until we are matching what they do for the university nobody should bitch about how the big boosters spend their money with our programs.
Unfortunately, I don't see a current path for us to bring in more NIL from out of state as we are terrible at the social media game and other than an email once a month we don't get the word out on anything.
I get more OM NIL propaganda on social media and regular mail than I do State and I graduated from State.
Well that's what I'm saying. I give myself but I know it's not enough to offset some of the old money we have, I mean the Seal family still has a TON of influence. I know I can't match what they have given, which is in well into 9 figures. And I do agree that we do a terrible job with young alumni and out of state. That is part of the reason I'm trying to start this venture. It's a way to bring in more people, but also bring in more money.
