This site is exactly what we should be doing. Someone please send this to JM. Fear the Roo is not the name I would have selected but their site is great especially when compared to our Feed the Bird site which is STILL showing Jihad, Cooper, and Brady Hunt. No quotes from the athletes, no casting of vision from the Board just a lame "box" checked to say we have one. That's how you continually finish in the lower half of the league and never sniff an NCAA bid or conference title in nearly 30 years. This is the kind of crap that drive coaches like Lewis nuts. Half-ass, second rate, bare bones effort. But, I'm sure someone will chime in and tell us all the reasons why it's impossible for us versus the rest of the league. Three, two, one... |

I must be missing something. www.feartheroocollective.com/Clicking on the collective site I see 2 players from last year for them on Fear the Roo, see a link to donate, and a link to their fan board. Not exactly overwhelming. The X post is enthusiastic, that's good, and better than the collective site. Our own fan site is probably not a big plus to fund raising. I'm not sure Feed the Bird should link it... Rob's X feed is pretty good and Lewis and the MBB X feed is fine. |

Serving as an assistant coach is where he belongs. |

The postings to twitter promoting the collective and having an updated site are whats needed.. The site itself as long as its current and easy to donate who cares |

I'm not that impressed by one such post, or by that long rambling post. Looks like one my forum posts.... As PR I would like to see it broken into 3 posts, and of course in multiple media. I'd expect they put similar posts on other social media too. Credit that they do. I have to add that they had something to brag about. They have better donor base. Should out raise us whatever we do. BSU donors are not going to flood our site based on somebody telling them it's important, but it would help a little, so I'm for it. I disagree that small donors are going to be a big key. Especially when we need it every year. I also wonder if we'll know how effective our own efforts have been this year. I suspect we're hitting the obvious people most likely to make a difference, we'll see. |

Why do you have to make things so difficult lol. Now your focusing on the one post.. Look at the broad picture they have a collective that work. They regularly promote on different social media outlets and probably have an email campaign as well.. The point being it is actively promoted. We have a collective that was announced talked about for three days and never mentioned again unless someone asks or pushes

We have a collective that was announced talked about for three days and never mentioned again unless someone asks or pushes What we know is our collective isn't promoted publicly. I support doing more, but am not very optimistic that will be a big difference maker. Dave Heeter and the others would be doing more if they believed that. We actually have little evidence about how well it is working or how well the Akron collective is working. We know their athletic program is better funded than ours. Good bet they have more NIL. I'm saying we're making a lot of assumptions to say it has anything to do with grass root giving. What I know about fund raising in the MAC says that is doubtful. |

Now your focusing on my use of Grass Roots so lets make it simpler
Would you rather see a promoted Nil collective that might have a chance at picking up a few bucks from ordinary alumni or maybe a small local businesxd
Or a collective that is not promoted and that 99.9 percent of alumni does not exist... Now dont focus on the 99.9 part of statement

Now dont focus on the 99.9 part of statement No argument about doing more doing no harm. I do believe that about 99.9% of the alumni able to make make a difference can easily enough do so, and I'm skeptical about the kind of post everybody is gushing over would help much. I'm not really sure even a highly professional effort is really cost effective. Very much doubt the results of doing less. Go fund me type efforts need a hook. I know a little of what we do in athletic fund raising, would like more done, but NIL is all about boosters with money willing to spend. We have not too many of those. No harm trying, though. |

That's what's known as "accountability." Interesting juxtaposition with the other link noting Whitford was here for NINE F------ YEARS. |
