This was my opinion all along that the leadership had to hustle vs. blaming donors going to an empty pro stadium to play Tulsa next to the strip clubs.  We need to hit the heart strings and pull on the nostalgia factor.

For real, give the donors a reason to donate. From what I have heard in the past, especially during the CCS era, was that the relationships with the donors was not that great and there was no real push to include smaller donors.

The donors had a reason to give back when we were at the big boy table but basically didn't. I think this is a combination of the donor base maturing as we get older as a program and MK being able to tap into it.

Yep!  I think we will see the generational effect kick in.  I was too young back there and barely had two nickels to scrape together.

Same... and my donations now are not world breakers, but they are something to be sure.

You are doing much more than most.

I was in college during our Rise to Number 2. Finally have all of my financial ducks in a row, and got my first pair of season tickets.

Hey, some of us made a lot of donations one dollar at a time to those hardworking young ladies putting themselves through college.

Mods, shut this thread down. We don’t need to worry about getting into a better conference now.

Who needs money, rankings, and meaningful opponents?

We can hope for a playoff game at the end of the year (that may or may not be awarded in the future) and our G5 recruits vs P5ish recruits.
