It would be interesting to see what the figures were like last year when MH implemented the new system, compared to the previous year.

Also, for John, or anyone in the know, how are the donations for the football/basketball tix accounted for if theaccount doesn't hit the Bulls Club $100 minimum? Are they included in that figure above or what?

I wouldn't say, " looking good" I would say looking better.

its a shame that we haven't reached the 5000 Bulls Club member number. Hopefully that will change in next two years.

I just posted a thread on the Alma Mater board with a link to our comparison to public AAU schools.  You can see the drop in alumni giving during the Holtz decline and show (as of 2014) we have a lot of ground to make up.  Whether it's to athletics or not, $100 or $5, it counts in these stats. 

And yes, P5s look at this.

I think that $100 minimum is to receive benefits. Someone who donates $80, is still a donor, the Bulls Club will accept it, they just don't qualify for the benefits of being a $100 donor. Now that is muddied by the fact that the $80 donor can get seat location benefits, if the donation is combined with tickets.

I didn't know that donor amount mattered. It makes me really want to donate more just to assist in the statistics. That is a real feasible way to help perception of the department and program. *looks in piggy bank* ( I was gonna say bully bank but that sounds incredibly like I steal kids lunch money.)

Yeah, that's kind of what I was referring to. The way the parking reads for football it appears, though, that you're not an actual Bulls Club member at all unless you hit the $100 donation level:

• Bulls Club Members ONLY have the opportunity to purchase season parking
passes. All other season ticket members will have access to purchase parking
on a single game basis in day of game cash lots.
• All lots based on availability and awarded based on 2016-17 Bulls Club Donor
Level and then Priority Point rank. See page 20 for more information on
amount of passes available for purchase.
• All lots open five hours prior to kick-off.
• The number of parking passes and lots available for request are based on
2016-17 Bulls Club Donor Level (see pg. 20).

There are no lots set aside for the less than $100 donor level, which would appear that it means they're not BC members .... and if they're not, have to assume they're not included in those figures above? Kind of confusing.

I half agree with you. Donors under $100 wouldn't have the right to buy a parking pass (I agree) .... but I would guess that the donor numbers include all donors, no matter how small.
