I hope you don’t sit by me at games. Some dude loading up on lager and jersey is a methane bomb waiting to happen.Oh. I do eat lots of beef jerky. That will go with some Ames Lager.

KSU, for example, with a smaller enrollment and alumni base generates almost 50% more in donations. We need to grow the donating fan base. Too many casuals relying on an ever-pressured small set of donors.I think Brent is doing a fine job, too. He is working with the same base as JP and it's well documented that ISU really struggles from donation aspect. I have seen numerous snapshots of ISU and lack of donations, but below is one that is a older but basically sums up the gap,

Why is it crazy to think we don’t need more grass-roots support too? Based on a poll I did here, a large percentage of Cyclone Fanatics don’t support the AD financially. Can you imagine what it is among the broader alumni base? It feels like some are waiting for a big donor to take care of it...it going to take all of us.why is it crazy to think the guy worth $2 billion cant donate $2m a year to ISU NIL?

Since Snyder's arrival in '89 Kansas State's been to 24 bowl games and won 3 conference titles. Over that same span they made the tournament 13 times, with 3 Elite 8s in there. People are willing to spend entertainment dollars on things that are entertaining (like, successful sports programs)KSU, for example, with a smaller enrollment and alumni base generates almost 50% more in donations.

im guessing most collectives are buoyed by a smaller % of wealthy donorsWhy is it crazy to think we don’t need more grass-roots support too?

This isn't aimed at just you, but I get tired of people knocking how much money Iowa State fans donate to athletics.KSU, for example, with a smaller enrollment and alumni base generates almost 50% more in donations.

The total number of ISU CC donors and donations, near the bottom of P5 historically, suggests we have an 80% issue too, that’s my point. 80% need to do more, especially since one of the excuses is lack of 20%.
Thanks for sharing this, I didn’t realize what was shared earlier was so dated. I am a CC member, FB season (out of state) ticket holder, and donate regularly to We Will. Not to mention, donate to the ISU Foundation and have two kids at ISU. This isn’t a flex, as some will claim, but context. I, personally, am starting to feel the pinch; so there was definitely emotion to my responses. No big donors are coming to save the day, we have to do it ourselves and I‘ve reached my ceiling.This isn't aimed at just you, but I get tired of people knocking how much money Iowa State fans donate to athletics.
For the 22-23 year per Sportico' s College financial summary
Sportico’s Intercollegiate Finance Database
Sportico is maintaining an interactive, real-time database that tracks the official balance sheets of public FBS university athletic departments.www.sportico.com
Iowa State had about $116 million of total revenue for athletics, with over $29 million from donations.
Kansas State had a just over $102 million of revenue and donations around $25 million.
If you are going to pitch the old thesis that Iowa State does a terrible job raising donations, please use something more current. I think it has almost 10 years since our donation levels were $12 million. These numbers don't even count the donations for the facilities.
Over half of the $90 million Stark building came from private donations as an example.
Bloom has indicated that over 6,000 fans have given some gift to We Will. That number is pretty close to the number of donors to the National Cyclone Club.
He's not the only one. Welcome to CF.As the guy who brought up the Albaugh connection - I wasn't assuming he bankrolls our collective, genius. My specific wording was "It's not crazy to think he could pony up a couple million a year". That doesn't mean I think he DOES give a couple million a year..
He invited TJ to the f'ing Kentucky Derby, to assume he donates nothing to the Basketball program/players is moronic. WHETHER THAT'S THROUGH WEWILL OR NOT - do you understand that players can be paid via methods outside of WeWill??
Solar keeps claiming things like he knows them as fact, when in actuality he does not.
Cool website. Thanks for sharing.This isn't aimed at just you, but I get tired of people knocking how much money Iowa State fans donate to athletics.

I'm not sure where you donate to, but every fund/foundation we've given to tells us who/what the recipients of their grants are.Charities have to list the top salaries. These NIL's will not list their "donees."
But to disclose that puts ISU at a competitive disadvantage if no one else is obligated to.I'm not sure where you donate to, but every fund/foundation we've given to tells us who/what the recipients of their grants are.
Yeah, sharing this would be a good way to create a major sheetshow.But to disclose that puts ISU at a competitive disadvantage if no one else is obligated to.
Why disclose how much Curtis Jones was given. Or Abu Sama. Even to say the the MBB was $X million... there's only so many guys, how hard would it be to figure out roughly who's getting what. Even easier when competition can evaluate year-over-year changes.
And then there's the team chemistry piece... suppose someone is jealous that someone else is getting a bigger bag?
IMHO, It's just not feasible to share the info without consequences.
U are talking about united way,etc. Nils are not giving grants to people; they are giving cash to people for charitable work and reporting these payments to the government as 1099 payments. The recipients have to pay all state and federal taxes on these funds received.I'm not sure where you donate to, but every fund/foundation we've given to tells us who/what the recipients of their grants are.

That is what We Will is doing. Hiring the players to do these functions. Not sure how you are struggling to understand this.So a salary. A wage.
Why should I pay a private entity to pay someone? Their employer should pay them...
I know exactly what they do. If I give to the AD I know how much building projects costs and how much coaches get paid. I know where my money goes.That is what We Will is doing. Hiring the players to do these functions. Not sure how you are struggling to understand this.
