@brentblum I'm currently signed up for yearly donation. Would it benefit the collective to switch to monthly for any reason? Happy to adjust if it makes any difference.
We Will Collective contributor numbers
- Thread starter brentblum
- Start date
What if, and hear me out, a very technologically inclined person were to secretly hack into the master ticket list. Would you be interested? Hmmmm Hmmm
And yes I have changed my tune on the We Will Collective after hearing Anthony Johnson's story.
I don't mean to scare anyone but Jeremiah Cooper and Ben Brahmer are probably going to be getting offers in the next 6 weeks similar to what TJ Tampa saw last offseason. To be honest, it's probably already happening behind the scenes.
We have a lot more players to retain this offseason. Plus, we want to be able to be competitive with transfers Campbell wants to bring in.
Why stop there? Rocco, Sama, Hansen, the young D-lineman, Verdon. Then you have to worry about the JR's like Freyler, Purchase, and Noel who might be close to graduating.
Just email me at [email protected] and I can make this happen.
We can project yearly donations as well since it is recurring, so this is also great! Thank you!
How do you factor beer and cold brew sales into the budget for 2024? @brentblum
It sounds like the September numbers on Ames Lager were really strong. Impressive as it didn't seem like supply fully caught up to demand until well into October.

Once I start my first job in late November, I will start donating. I am excited to finally be able to help out
@brentblum does the collective help connect athletes with branding/marketing opportunities? I will admit I have a very poor opinion of giving athletes money in connection with having them go out and do charity appearances. Stuff like the Pork Producers stint is exactly what NIL should allow.
We need an honest, grassroots effort for this fanbase and we need to get clever to incentivize donations. We have thousands of very passionate fans, but most fans don't have deep pockets right now to donate without getting something in return.
The Beer and Coffee was a great idea. The fanbase doesn't view it as an inconvenience or a chore for the collective. It's a change in habit, but we feel it is a fair trade (because the beer is good).
Some ideas:
1. Charters. Something to try would be to put together charters and weekend trips for the away football and basketball games. I'm all for a great experience and if the hard work is done for me, I'll gladly pay for it.
2. Capitalize on wins. The vibes were HIGH after the Cincinnati game. That is the perfect time to rake in cash, when people feel good about themselves and when they want to keep the good times rolling. Get a high profile donor to match like after the Baylor basketball game; giving fans a limited time and a goal will force them to donate.
3. Wing Stop. Partner with Seneca Wallace's Wing Stops with proceeds going to the collective.
4. Focus on what we can accomplish, not what others are doing. We get it; We aren't Texas A&M. Some fans have felt discouraged from donating because "What's the point? We'll never be them so why even try."
Incentives cost money. Money that would then not be available for the athletes.
A We Will brothel would have low operating costs with high revenue potential
Those incentives cut into the bottom line to pay the athletes we want to keep/get. I know where you are coming from but the goal for all of us I think would be as much as every dollar possible to go from us to the athletes not goodies and such.
Our monthly donations are credit card only for now. We can also do old school checks!
