Anytime $$$ is involved, there will always be some pushing against or a reach over the line. The most organized way to raise money is with a collective. That is why those were created. One of the issues with collectives is that those giving the money have to trust those collecting and dolling out the money. Another level for issues.
Considering that we just embarked upon a huge donation need for the stadium renovation and of late in this economy, we have n’t been real strong with donations, supporting a collective will be even more difficult. However, we do realize that unless we are in a position to maintain our better athletes through NIL, someone else will. It’s a tough box to be in.
