This is a NO BRAINER, folks. You can become a monthly CoC contributor for as little as 10.oo a month....that's like one less stop at a fast food drive thru. Your ROI could be keeping STATE stocked with worthy athletes to help keep Hulman rocking like it has been this year. I passed on seeking Jason's extension because only 15.oo a year for what Sycamore Pride provides us and the effort it takes Jason to keep things running is another NO BRAINER.

I know it's beating a dead horse at this point...but 3 things that WSU is doing that we aren't that we SHOULD be doing.

1) Just a really nice looking website.
2) A backdoor/workaround so that donations can be tax deductible. I don't know why we aren't doing this especially.
3) Real tangible benefits (with pictures of what you get) at each donor level. It doesn't even have to be expensive stuff. The two koozies and a car decal probably cost less than $2 but that goes a long way.

100% — people love hokey shit that they can post on social media and show “hey I contribute to ISU athletics; look at this lanyard/etc I got”

ie - Avila goggles (super smart idea)

They went the 501c3 route and I agree that we're likely losing out on donors due to ours not being tax deductible. I noticed they are using Blueprint Sports whereas we're using SANIL and this was the first link returned. Looks like it may be short lived. This is another reason why I think things will eventually be done on campus versus in third-party organizations.

As for the benefits, yep. Look at people posting the stuff they get when the Foundation has cool stuff. I remember people posting their State tumblers, car flags, Sycamore Sam golf club covers, etc.
