planted the seed with the wallet nazi last night about $25 a year. i thought i was pretty deft too "Hey honey, is there anything you'd like to donate to?" "no, why?" "oh just wondering" I'll break her down eventually.

$100 got donated to the Club from the purchase of my football season tix, but glad to do it if it helps achieve the goals Charley has laid out for the program.

Surprised the website isn't up and running in time for the announcement. Seems kinda backwards....

Domain was bought on 2/6 by Old Hat Creative. Looks like they have been hired to make the site. You can see previous work they have done here:

Ready to do my part and give back to my University which gave me a great start. Hopefully they launch that website soon.

I said this in another thread, but the one thing I am concerned about is restructuring of priority points.

I hope they find a way to carry points that have already been accumulated over into the new system.

Im sure they will. It would be an absolute debacle if not.

Disappointed to here UMAA commercials during the bball game. If you have a major announcement of a $33 Million fundraising campaign and you rename the official booster club, you HAVE to figure that out!

I heard from an athletic department official that earned priority points will be carried over to the new system.

I think a starting donation of $25 is more than reasonable. The fact that that website wasn't up and running as this was announced was another case of WTF were they thinking? The site should've been ready to start taking donations immediately and keep folks interested in this new program.

I was reading through the literature sent from The Minutemen Club and it appears that now the most significgant factor is seat locations is your donnor level to The Minutement Club.

The way they have it structured is is the more money you donate, the higher level you get put in and the tickets are assigned based on priority points in each donnor level working from the highest donnor levels to the lowest.

I would be very interested to know what people think about this new system.

^ I asked that same question in the "Season Tickets" thread in the Football section. People don't seem to care much and that's good for the Athletic Dept.
