If it is set up as a 501c(3) contributions will be deductible.
or when doing your taxes just tell your accountant you gave $XX in charitable contributions, they don't need to know the details
$200 buys me 1 racing tire
$5000 buys me a new set of racing shocks
$25000 buys me a new race engine
$100000 buys me a new a new completely race ready car
So I guess I'm out too
Those were just the averages, they're going to accept any amounts.
Fair questions; not sure of the answers as I didn’t get enough time to ask every question that ran through my mind.
The gist of the message was that we’re going to be 12th out of 12 in the new Big 12 in AD donation giving and things are looking like we’ll certainly be in the same position for NIL giving barring any fundamental change in attitude and trends. I’m less worried about us and K-State battling for the 11th and 12th position and more about the likely drastic spread between the top 10 and those last 2.
Unfortunately, there are enough currently mid-tier schools (think Oklahoma State, Florida State, Arkansas, Miss State, etc) that are going to have a big time financial advantage that could leap them into a new tier between the current top dogs and us current mid-tier programs.
At the end of the day, we're still going to need to be a developmental school. Get the 3-star guys, hope that we can be competitive enough to keep a fair share of them after they develop in years 1 and 2 and sprinkle in with transfers.

I'm right there with you. I don't have nearly the interest in sports that I used to have. Saying that, I will probably contribute, so that grandkids can get excited about ISU sports and follow a hopefully competitive team.
I agree. But she was almost upset I asked, so we've got seasoning to do. We will be season ticket holders in 2023 for FB (not in the 2022 budget) so maybe her stance will chance then
I expected there to be some sort of subscription amount that would give the supporter access to certain events, Zooms with athletes etc. So while they will take a one-time $10 donation, the $200/year level is in the $15-20 a month range for a subscription. Do you think this is right?
Since we're now relying on well off Alumni to obtain players, how long before the Ivy League rules college sports?
Wish they would do something similar to that. Be like a gym membership you never use. You have the option of recurring payment for amount you chose. Just taken out during each month if you don’t want to do one lump sum. That way they continue to have money flowing in each month.
I don't know for sure, but I can't imagine they wouldn't be considering a subscription option, it just makes too much sense.
Greatest ambassadors for ISU athletics right now that also have the largest audience and could help the "collective"

Lazard has to be there too. Bridget Carleton maybe? Kene Nwangwu
That’s it. Although someone that spends over $100 a month on alcohol and drugs likely wouldn’t be poor if they didn’t spend said money on alcohol and drugs.
Yes 1200 dollars is typically what makes someone go from poor to not poor.
The biggest point being that Gunner isn’t poor and neither are 99% of Cyclone graduates and posters on this website. If you don’t want to give or you are too young in your career then just be honest.
