Great post!!!If this administration wants more out of this fanbase, they are going to have to show them more. I have donated to NIL efforts in the past and attended one of the suppers at Drago's. I have asked on this site who is running the collective currently and can't get a straight answer. Now supposedly the name has changed, but we don't know what to. You Google Krewe Allons, and the second link brought up is from the announcement of the collective in 2023 that has a broken link to their site. The first link is to their Twitter which hasn't been updated since April. The third is to the Facebook which hasn't been updated since May. The fourth link is to the Instagram which hasn't been updated since October of 2024. Zero mentions on any of the socials of a rebranding to something else or new links to give. What are our measurable goals with NIL? Could someone not in the know tell me? How much are we looking to raise for the four sports that draw the most attention: baseball, football, basketball, and softball? I'm sure members of the Diamond Club, Rebounders Club, or Quarterbacks Club might be able to tell me, but could anyone else? Why would people give money to an organization they can't name, don't know who is in charge of, has no visible, measurable goals, and does not appear to be active based on their web presence. Try and redirect your search by just Googling Ragin Cajuns NIL, and you will get the same article from 2023 with a dead link. If you search under fans on the Ragin Cajuns website, you can find the website for Krewe Allons, which mentions nothing of a name change/rebrand. I am far from someone who could move the needle for us financially, but I would be willing to do my part if we could show some semblance of a vision and didn't appear to be completely rudderless. Until then, I'll just keep being one of the "fans" you speak of who supports with season tickets/my attendance and keeps on wishing for brighter days.
If the people in charge want to take the thoughts and prayers approach to addressing how far behind we are, I will return the same energy in my support.
