Another one gone from Bulls Club?

[smazza]

What exactly do people need to talk about with their bulls club rep?

 

 

not quite like dealing with my casino host-----

[JTrue]

Upcoming projects, donations, money allocation, and vision on projects for the future

Like an OCS? Are we planning one? Where will it be on campus?

Yet at the same time J Fernandez, coach of 15 years at USF, says morale and focus is the highest he has ever seen.

Maybe that is true internally, but to CR's point, I hope they don't forget about us fans. Particularly the important ones.

There are unimportant fans?

No, bad wording but point remains there are some who bear more of the burden of progress than others. I'm not a big donor, I don't expect the same rewards and incentives big donors get. Edited September 11, 2014 by hm101

Everyone has to agree that our athletic department has been pretty much in shambles the last few years. Change the head coach and generally the entire staff will be different. We have a new athletic director. Makes sense that the day he started no ones job below him was safe. We have to trust that Harlan is moving the program in the direction we all want it to go.

My question was an honest one.

Makes sense to me.

Agree, to a point. When you start talking about changes in revenue producing positions where relationships have been built, I think you need to be pretty careful .... All we can do right now is trust Harlan to do what's needed to keep us going forward.

Funny this came up today, wasn't going to mention anything( since We/USF seem to be fixing a lot of the issues)  But been calling All week trying to get someone in the Bulls club on the phone.  Kept getting a message no one avail leave a message ect.. Which I  did.  Finally got someone on the phone this am and explained what I was calling about, was told I would get taken care of and a return call later.(still waiting on return call)

 

Was calling about the Bulls Club Tailgate this weekend. ( Attended last week paid in cash as they wanted me to do/ paid 20 a person since it was at the gate). When leaving the tailgate I prepaid with cash for this upcoming week 15.00  a person, filled out the card, gave them cash, was told Id get an email conformation and was good to go,  Haven't gotten the email yet . I got the blast email saying the Tailgate is almost sold out so I needed to buy if I wanted to attend.( already paid last weekend).   So hoping for NO ISSUES Saturday when we show up to eat.  

 

Reason for the  post is to answer why one would call their Bulls Club Rep. This is one reason one might call their Bulls Club rep.

 

I Also don't know who my Bulls Club Rep is anymore,  mine seems to not be working there any longer.  My Ticket Rep is Outstanding and I DONT want anyone else.  He does a great job!!!! Agree with Trip these men and women have built relationships with their donor and season ticket holders.  They are a HUGE asset to any athletic dept.

I have a co-worker who used to be a Green Jacket donor and season ticket holder for football. He was in a group of 4 couples and they split the cost of the donation and the 8 season tickets. The group disbanded and he contacted the Bulls Club about the possibility of getting only two season tickets with club access with a $250 donation. He was told no. He is no longer a season ticket holder as he is an older gentleman and really needs access to the club prior to the game and at halftime. It is a shame given our current situation that the Bulls Club is not thinking outside of the box on this one. I'm sure he is not alone in his situation. 

So let's say that you don't want to "cheapen" your donor levels, then the Bulls Club should simply seek 4 groups of 2 or 2 groups of 4 and put them together for the purposes of club donations/season tickets. What would be the harm in that? In my opinion, our program is falling way behind financially and their draconian rules will not make matters any better.

Just my two cents but I for one like the changes.  Yes it is tough when your main contact leaves but that is going to happen everywhere.  I think they have done a very good job of reaching out to alumni and promoting USF.  If the Bulls start winning on the field then  both the money and the fans will follow.  Lets not forget how really young our football program is and it is not like our BB program has a great history.
