RCAF Membership Drive

[facelessjonmoon]

Didn’t lamson pledge to build the softball park and paid for it all? And Russo kind of re-negged on some of his pledge? Stop me if I misremembered.

I don’t think anyone is blaming baseball for no football stadium remodel. They just saying scott farmer is the only AD in America to think it’s good to do softball and baseball before football.

Regarding baseball stadium funding, the original large donor had to reneg after losing around $20 million in the Stanford financial ponzi scheme fiasco.
Unrelated- A couple of years later, his O&G company went bankrupt

That set the project back a few years originally.

Wanna say the suites were planned on paying a large part of the baseball construction.

Or it is better to have one (albeit smaller) complete and finished project as the amount for softball would not have gotten the others completed if redirected

Why can't our tier 1 research students make some of these plans, would that stretch the donation dollars farther and get the projects done quicker?
Same with marketing students, is their a grad program? With all the complaints about branding etc, give them a shot and put that money to other things

RCAF Membership Drive off to a rocky start with a personal story. Shared my mail-out with a friend of mine that is currently not an RCAF member or ticket holder in any sport, and was interested in premium seating for baseball. One of the $6k+ boxes.

He called the RCAF number twice yesterday, left a voicemail. Called Cajundome Box Office who forwarded him again to RCAF, left a voicemail and an email.

Tried calling again today, no response.

I'm not a typical pitch-fork forum complainer, but that is unacceptable if we're trying to grow the fanbase and make money.

Well they work at a university, might be last chance for a few days off before school starts plus baseball is kind of far off in the future

I have never not had a response or gotten someone at RCAF when I called. I had a question about mailing parking passes and got an immediate response and made my opinion of not printing tickets while I was on the phone, the rep had a possible work around and had an answer back to me via email within 24 hours. I'm not a big donor and have always received great responses when I contact RCAF

Sad to say but that is one of the hardest things to do at this University. Trying to talk to someone to give them money. I've had similar experiences in the past. Unless you go online or drive to the ticket office, its very hard to give RCAF money. Been this way since the beginning.

Not necessarily, Ive been a member since its inception. They have charged my credit card 4 equal quarterly payments every year. It’s been very easy and smooth.

It seems that if you’re doing the same over and over not a problem, but for those who are inquiring about the process to start or increase contributions there’s a failed opportunity if you believe them.

In a lot of situations "inquiring about the process" seems frowned upon, especially by those who are "in the know" already and don't want that clique to grow

Well since by law they have to ask me every year if I want to renew I typically get a call like I did last week. They can’t just renew from year to year with out asking my permission. If I wanted to up it that would have been the time to do so. If they are ignoring new money and not returning calls heads need to roll.
