@brentblum what happened with Benevity. I was donating to WeWill through Benevity and got an email 2 weeks ago saying my donation was stopped.

They had a clerical error with a data dump that incorrectly removed us from the system that we are getting fixed. Apologies for the inconvenience! Should be back up and running in a couple of weeks.
I agree with your statement, but a lot of ISU (and other colleges)fans just support the school. To think they are supposed to now cut a check to get a kid to play a game is still tough to swallow. But if I buy a sixer/case and some money goes to a collective that distributes the proceeds it makes it more palatable. even though the results are the same.
I understand college athletics are changing but not everyone has the financial ability to participate.
I see both sides of it.
It is nice to be purchasing a consumable product for those without a large disposable income. While some may not have $10/$20 a month to give, it's a simple change to replace their current coffee or beer choice with one that benefits the WWC.
That said, $1 on every vodka bottle (plus the portion to the AD), $2 on every cold brew 4 pack, and $2 on every 6 pack of beer is a relatively small donation. Don't get me wrong, every little bit helps and this is passive income for the WWC but it is vital we still increase our direct donations sooner rather than later. We are not far away from having a lot of poachable talent in both football and basketball. It's great that guys like Will McDonald and TJ Tampa turned down big offers the past 2 off-seasons but that won't happen every time. We're never going to match Texas' $800k offer to Tyrese, but we need to do what we can to close the gap and stay competitive in this space.
$1 from each bottle to WWC. Unsure on how much the AD gets but they also receive a portion.
