Lol fuck no. I mean we are doing ok but literally attempting to crowd source a war chest is just impossible in how immediately it’s needed.
There are a ton of levels everyone can give at on texasonefund.org, personally if you (not you yourself skipper, I know you donate) watch Texas football and follow along closely enough to post on recruiting forums $40 a month should be pretty reasonable plus it’s tax deductible and comes with even additional perks!
We are working on that through Learfield and even were the promoting sponsor for the spring game. We want recurring if possible, it was helps us balance the P&L more than sudden pops at events although they do help.
the hardest part with all of this is the sole fact that people think it’s handled already. It’s not my problem cause Michael fucking Dell has it covered…couldn’t be further from the truth. There have been a handful of dudes (one in particular for football) that has poured enough resources into this that it would make you vomit. We need the average Texas fan to donate. I’m not a season ticket guy, I’m not a BMD, but everyone can give SOMETHING if they care about succeeding
I am all for poor shaming folks, no question
