Our BB team costs 4 million this yr? Hell no wonder we are good. Congrats on TJ keeping it all headed the right direction and the good job you do keeping all of us interested and engaged. You do a great job Blum.
Williams & Blum Pod: ISU raises prices, bowl win, foul play in the CFP?
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
I tend to agree with this, in general, but since CW/Blum had a segment focus on The Pollard Letter, I understand how this pod is NIL-heavy.

I was shockingly encouraged by that stat. Once We Will goes in-house, grandfather all those WWC donors in the NCC as members. Continue to offer a modest entry point new members. @brentblum

I was thinking that maybe there could be a donation/club level for young people where they get a voucher for a pair of game tickets for every $500 they donate if they donate monthly. The vouchers would apply to any game that is not sold out two weeks prior to kickoff, and they could roll the vouchers over from year to year if they go unused. If someone wanted to give $10/mo and take a few years to get a pair of free tickets that's fine. If they want to give $43/mo to ensure they have a pair of tickets to use every season, that's fine too. Maybe the vouchers could apply to men and women's basketball as well?
It would be a great incentive for new alumni to get into the habit of donating and also put butts into seats for games that might otherwise be hard to sell. Win-win.
You can't provide amenities of any fixed value for small donations but this would be something that gives flexibility for young families to get even more people access to the awesome game day experience in JTS/Hilton.

Heck the student section was throwing crap at a couple games. I remember a water bottle making it into the endzone.
IIRC, Regents had this as a (late?) condition of approval. CyTown will allow the AD to properly fund the manage/improve the Iowa State Center, I assume without digging into AD funds.
That's the goal for next year. This year is about half of that.
Where does your Sukup number come from? Number of seats X price? It’s not like they would go from full to empty. Personally, as indicated, I don’t think this would have any impact.
Good point. I’m assuming the increase in cost for security/police is accounted for in the 50%. Large added expense that hasn’t been referenced in this thread.
That's funny, it seems there are several others on this thread who must have overlooked your reasons. Guess we're all obsessed with gambling.
Keep alcohol out of Trice. You drunks will have to smuggle it in with the rest of the students.
I’m ready to have it sold at games and move threads like to &!+@#ing about beer prices, lines, temperature, vendors, can leave at half, etc., as well as &!+@#ing about drunk fans, more vulgarity, spilling beer, more arrests, more fights, lost premium seating revenue, etc..

I think JP is banking on growing the donor base with the young Alumni and their families. He is trying to keep it family friendly: as he’s stated. I think the net from beer sales aren’t seen like enough to risk the environment he’s tried to build.
With regard to HIPAA-
The privacy laws under HIPAA only apply to “covered entities” which include healthcare providers, health insurance providers, and those types of entities. The ISU AD is not a covered entity with regard to HIPAA.
As a public university, FERPA may also apply to keep private education records which may in some circumstances include medical records.
In either case, it would be reasonable for a waiver requirement for the athletes employed by the department. It’s honestly not that big of a deal from a law perspective.
It could get a little complicated if there is a collective bargaining agreement that comes out with some kind of players association, but that’s just contractural law and not really based on HIPAA or FERPA or any other federal privacy laws.

A school might be considered a covered entity, if they render any care to the injured person. Like a member of the training staff doing initial triage on an injury. It definitely gets in the grey zone. I'd be interested to see how it would play out in the court system.
I don’t receive a commission. I am a salaried contract employee and receive no benefits from We Will.
