Man, I wish there was a way to get this message to the non twitter and non message board people. I think Ben did a good job of saying that NIL kind of sucks. But it is necessary and matters.

Also we went to the same high school and him picking Iowa State back then was pretty unusual. ;)

We have now raised $170,034 in a week and a half as part of our We Will matching challenge on 650 gifts. With match that is $340,068! (This does not include any of the beverage sales).

Let's get to the magic number of $400,000 by this weekend. Tell 5 friends to chip in! There are probably 40,000 adults at Jack Trice this weekend, so clearly we have room to grow. Appreciate you all.

Hopefully we can get there! Hawk Fans would make fun of us if we didn't hit 200k. They're already the worst on Twitter.

Pretty cool! I’d have to think that 400k will make a difference.

I’d love to know the person that matched. My guess is a former athlete.
Tin foil hat and not even sure if this is allowed but it wouldn’t shock me if CMC and Otz each put up 100k or something. This impacts their jobs more than anyone else and maybe they just wanted a kickstart. Wild guess but interesting to think about
