ISU hasn't had any winning stretches in the last three and a half decades? Because that is how long it has been since they changes the Cyclone Club donation levels.
Pollard on Cyclone Club Level Changes
- Thread starter nfrine
- Start date
I believe it was 10-15 years ago that the $1000 contribution level went to $1500. About 5 years ago, the contribution for MBB tickets in the parquet increased from a $1500 to $5000 minimum.
Not enough to really take them to the 'next' level. We have not even achieved KSU/Baylor success yet. The increases will obviously help the budget, but only winning will really allow the next step to be achieved.. Heck we have only won 9 games once in the last 20 yrs.
ISU has had success on par or better than they had 35+ years ago. During that interim inflation has increase by over 150%. This increase doesn't even constitute a COLA adjustment.
If Gold did go from $1000 to $1500 it isn't changing again now because it says that level is $1500 in 2022. As far as MBB tickets in the parquet go, I could be wrong but I don't believe anyone could walk in the door and get parquet tickets with a donation for anything like $1500 even before 5 years ago. I believe that was just an attempt to move people who had been grandfathered in for decades at a low donation level while people who had been donating for years at a higher level couldn't get seats in line with their giving level.
They didn't change the overall donation levels, but they did somewhat do a de facto change when they changed some of the priority seating requirements some time during the hoiberg era.
I remember center balcony (which there were plenty of before hoiberg got here) jumped from $1k to $2k back then, I see its now $2.5k
You are missing the point. I am not arguing against the increased donation levels, I am stating that for a real increase in funds football (and to a lesser extent basketball) simply need to win more - and that last year was a real lost opportunity to have the 'statement' year to springboard from.
Historically, yes.
This year, if cash renting, corn might be break even point if input costs don't improve
Yes, there was a re-seating of sorts a few years ago. My seats in 213 had been a $500 donation and that went up to $1000. From my understanding 213 will now by the $1500 donation.
First, somebody gets a tumbler, now you get a replica campanile. How come I'm not getting any of that swag?
It’s a great question and how should ISU find you if you are not a AA member, AD donor or Foundation donor? if you are off ISU’s grid, what is the solution? Is that ISU’s fault?
Good point. We also learned that many passionate fans here at CF don’t financially contribute to the AD. We are basically down to a subset of Cyclones fans.
