Rutgers (or at least the WBB program) did it a couple of seasons that we were in NJ. Don't know that they still do, I think they might have switched to recordings. We were not usually home.
Conversely, here at AZ, they have a program of delivering selected season tix to purchasers. We had about 5 WBB players twice, about 7 softball players once, and could have had Volleyball had we been able to be home. Yet another nice way to recognize folks who donate (I don't for one second think the tix were delivered to folks who didn't donate).
And in a variant, many years back RU alums called asking for pledges - they may have been ex-athletes. And just last week, a seminary student called to ask for a donation to a seminary that we make an annual modest gift ($100) to. Which wouldn't bother me but they called daily and didn't leave messages for 3 days when we couldn't get to the phone.
