UL said no, I'm just the messenger

It will be interesting if the money isn't raised and can't be refunded.

I agree!! Well if they are so opposed to it its time for the University to do something about our mascot situation.

Its like the tailgate situation, attendance situation, game day atmosphere, parking etc.. He is trying to take the initiative where the administration is not.

We could had this done when they got rid of Cayenne. Well if Cayenne wasnt working well you scrap it and come up with something new. That goes with all the situations dealing with this University.

This is inaction from the University Administration.

Have we had some community outreach on why people are not showing up to our games? Have we had some discussion with fans on why we getting 500 fans for a Basketball game?

You know he was concerned and when he first came up with idea, has he been contactted by the University? I dont think so? Have they had a discussion, an email, a phone call whatever? I dont think he has? I assume he never did.

He was contacted and told they have zero interest.

He has already stated he will use whatever funds he raises to be put towards whatever that amount can afford. The GoFundMe amount covers the cost of the costume + shipping provided in the quote provided by the mascot manufacturer.

I think the actual challenges beyond raising funds and creating a costume are:
1. Legal action from the University
2. Being sidelined by the University only able to make appearances outside of events or in the tailgate areas
3. Finding a student willing to don the costume while shunned by the University
4. Cost of ongoing maintenance/cleaning (the people wearing the costume will not assume that added responsibility)
5. LA RS 14:313 being enforced by University Police (No person shall use or wear in any public place of any character whatsoever, or in any open place in view thereof, a hood or mask, or anything in the nature of either, or any facial disguise of any kind or description, calculated to conceal or hide the identity of the person or to prevent his being readily recognized.)

I think all of those challenges will unfortunately keep Cory's creation as a cool show piece in his house.

All that aside, I am a fan of a gator mascot. I just don't think this is going to work out.

He is a long way off from being able to afford anything.

One minute you guys call it a mascot the next a spirit leader. Which is it?

[JMV JustMyView]

It may be a marathon but every step counts.

Only 89% of goal left. Baby steps.

[JMV JustMyView]

For the 70% who like the idea they sure aren't donating.
