And the Realtree and AFLAC contracts that OM has and probably others. Listening to STM OM guy the other night and he was going through their list of corporate sponsors that they have. I mean which nationwide corporations does MSTATE have in their corner.

This is never going to happen. With the cost of seat licensing, tickets, meals, gas, in some cases, lodging, we don?t have 10,000 who can afford $42 per month additional donations. Maybe 2,000 to 3,000 can add that additionally on top of the other expenditures. Send letters out to all 11,000+ BC members and ask for an additional $42 on top of all their other outlay for MSU athletics, you probably could get the 2 to 3000 to commit for 2 years.

Our administration is incompetent and/or dumber that dog shit so what OM does doesn't matter

Agree with you man. I decided to ask AI how much fans are actually donating to NIL. And according to it.. fans only make up 3-4% of TOTAL NIL money. That's every school with NIL combined. Boosters and companies make up the rest. What approach do we take? Idk. But fans ain't the answer as you said. They just can't do it. Well I know I can't. I mean sure I can give... but soon as my A/C goes out or I get a flat tire I'm screwed. That's the reality of 99% of fans that love this university. Doesn't make them any less of a fan, either.

We have those guys and they are donating. We don't have as many, though.
