UL Extending Marlin's contract

[CajunT]

I know of nothing unusual regarding perks for top supporters. That does not mean it is not occurring, just that I am not aware of it. I am aware of certain perks being related to certain donation levels. If you donate a certain amount, you may get a shirt or jacket for example. The amount you have to donate to get these greatly exceeds the value of the item. Best perk I am aware of is the opportunity to accompany the team on a road trip. However, the amount required to take advantage of that is 5000 dollars. It also has to be a bus trip road game. One person did accompany the team for the SLU game. That cost the program a spot on the bus, a hotel room, and a couple of meals. For someone who donates 5 grand, they probably deserve even more than this.

Mike, all program clubs have perks. But program clubs are to address needs in the program, they are not for buying airline tickets or motel rooms. RCAF Donation Levels address certain perks, but they are not paid out of program clubs. I'm not going to discuss it any further then that, and because you are not aware of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'm just saying, your level of giving doesn't always have to do with getting certain information.

Secondly, of the money that has been raised he is buying perks for his close supporters instead of spending money on other needs. Now if he wants more funding for his program, perhaps he should be more involved in the process and use the funds that he has raised in his Rebounder's Club more wisely.

No wonder people quickly run to his defense. They want the gift train to continue rolling. LOL

Before anyone gets offended or calls me a "hater," I'm only joking. Or am I........................DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN.................

I admitted just because I am not aware of something does not mean it does not exist. Just reporting on the perks I am aware of and those are nothing out of the ordinary.

Then you are aware that the Diamond Club and the Quarter Club did not pay for airline tickets and motel rooms for supporters right? Neither reported such expenses.

Basketball does not pay for airline tickets. Only bus trips allowed for 5000 dollar donors. Football allows a 20000 dollar donor to accompany them on away trips involving flights. That includes flight on the charter, hotel, and game tickets It is was not reported, that means no one take advantage of that perk or donated that much. It used to be a perk for 10000 dollar donors and I know people who went on those trips. Perhaps raising the requirement level was a mistake.

What I'm saying Mike, is Clubs are generally there to address needs within the program. The perks you are discussing are generally not paid out of program clubs, but other accounts. I'm not suggesting such transactions are illegal, simply a concern when said coach is unwilling to raise money himself for certain needs within his program. Of course you and other supporters don't see a problem with it, but fundraising is a team activity and he must carry his load if he is going to expense such transactions.

Perks are offered to encourage folks to donate more. Simple business model. Nothing is given if you don’t donate. Like I said, QB club does the same. Requirement levels are fairly high in my view. I think they could get more if the QB club requirement for a trip was 5 grand while basketball bus trip should have it at 2 grand. Same thing with RCAF levels. They are considering dropping the level to park in Cajun Field to 100 dollars for example.
