Keep spreading the word. This has slowed down tremendously but here is a way to move the needle in a big way.

I love this team, they’ve brought me so much joy. I tried to donate $100, but it appears the site is blocking me because I’m in Saudi Arabia. Then with a VPN on it won’t process the transaction using any of their payment options. I’ll have to wait until I’m back in the US, unfortunately.

Good question.   We have over 640,000 living alumni.  Raising $1 million quickly this year should be a piece of cake. 

I donated, and I've passed the word on to several friends who are big fans.  Speaking of which, does anybody have Tom Brady's cell #?  Joking, not joking.

Great idea and appreciate everyone involved.  Out of pure curiosity what’s with “our rivals are stealing our players” angle? Always looked at this being more of a nfl or kind of deal.  Who is in danger of transferring to a rival?

Fear is a stronger motivation for humans than love, so it's a better fundraising strategy to create fear ("we are threatened") than to inspire love ("these are great players, let's keep them")

It doesn't matter.  Let's keep the band together.  Marketing people play their games--we can actually do what makes us happy.

This has been mentioned in other threads, and I cannot agree more. If the younger players have agents that are shopping for the best deal, that kid would have been unlikely to come here to begin with, or unlikely to stay. Feels wild if Kenneth Grant, Mason Graham, Will Johnson, or any of the big young guys would leave for an NIL deal.
