If you want to donate to football just put football in the comments.

I literally waste a hundred bucks a month on overpriced coffee and too much time in this place. I signed up.

Crowdsourcing works my friends.

1.5 million gets the NIL done. If just 15 donors do this and each gets a 100k match, we double our NIL budget of 1.5 million.

 

[ZooCougar]

Up to $25k (combined) just tonight.

 

[Waquoit]

Aw hell, I gave a hundy. WTF?

 

[Platt81]

I think he’s saying he’ll donate up to $100K in total, not that he will match up to any $100k donation.

 

[shizzle787]

What are we up to?

 

[jdb50]

Just put in a hundy as well.

Just checked out the page, saw they have Jolly listed as one of their athletes. Good to see that someone is ponying up for him for us. He's gonna be a target for bigger schools after this year.

Cost me $31 for a burger and fries at MSG last week. Everybody that can should do a little. Great gesture by Marc. We could use a dozen or so like him.

Um. No. I have my own real expenses to worry about. Not paying for the potential to have better sports teams. (As much as I want UCONN to do well).

Are they going to start having commercials saying, "For less than the cost of a cup of coffee per day..."

It's like a GoFundMe because of a broken healthcare system.

Start with asking corporate sponsors to pony up. Don't start here.

It’s all being done. This is just another leg.

It’s OK if you can’t afford to donate as others can. Just support the team.

How much has been raised so far?

 

[Hogoff]

I hope I did it right. I didn’t see where it went directly to the football team.

41k in. Nice. We are 2.7% of the way to the 1.5 million goal.

Hopefully the university is comping tickets to the collectives. I believe the rules are if they equally give away tickets to the collectives, then they can. I know other universities give priority booster points and things like that for people who donate to the collectives.

Especially with football tickets and boxes at games, there may essentially be some "free" perks the University can give to the collectives that would entice people to donate, without costing much in money, but rather just in unused spaces at a game.

If we get 41k a day for 37 days, we are in.

1.5 million gets the NIL done. If just 15 donors do this and each gets a 100k match, we double our NIL budget of 1.5 million.

what's Plan B?

 

[LBird33]

We start selling our kidneys!!!

$1.5 million just seems to be a number Coach threw out there, as a minimum. I don't think it is in the ballpark of being enough.

 

[hardcorehusky]

I just popped in $100. I look at it as an investment in the program that makes my fandom more enjoyable.

Do it 3x a month and we good!

 

[husky429]

Emergency contraceptive.

 

[blue93]

Donated last night. I encourage others to do the same if they can, even if it’s just a little bit. It’s a good opportunity for the fan base to be a part of the solution.

 

[UConn Dan]

Just dropped $100. More to follow when I can

They need to keep promoting these collectives big time me and all over. Before this weekend I hadn't heard a peep from any of these people. They start tweeting, or whatever it's called now, and all ok a sudden we have $41k. They need to continue to promote the heck out of this and they'll hit their goal or come.closer.
