We also do a shit job with younger alumni so if we can combine those forces together, we may have something.
It's a double edged sword to an extent simply because we have people not wanting to contribute to offset the amounts given by the big boosters. I agree that we do a horrible job of tapping into younger money state grads out of state etc. But if it weren't for the big donors that may be too involved we wouldn't have a program at all. 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.
