Re: Posters

I have seen high schools sell them for like $2 after a gatorade scrimmage and then have the players sign them for little kids, and the money goes back to the program

Awww that's nice for the little kids

Re: Posters

Excuse me, but this poster is missing my favorite Panther fall sport . . . Swimming and Diving! Seriously. The team deserves our support.

There's also no Cross Country, or Golf, or Tennis listed. (heck, the tennis schedule isn't even on the website)

Isn't tennis a spring sport?

Re: Posters

there is a huge gap/divide between the PSC members and non-members at UNI. its almost based on some sort of principle or moral stance. in my eyes, it undermines everything we are trying to accomplish (being a recognized and respected stand alone athletic program in a state with 2 other big schools)

you dont see that at iowa or ISU. everyone there believes in fundraising, they just have to decide if the perks are worth it. i just dont see that at UNI, almost as if its a hopeless cause.

Re: Posters

I think any advertising would go to Leerfield as part of their agreement, right? So the cost of the posters would have to come directly from the A.D. budget. I'm definitely on the side of having posters and other even higher profile marketing (i.e. billboards, t.v., radio etc.) because I think they do wonders for sustained promotion of the programs and the university as a whole, but I also definitely understand the terrible financial predicament that the A.D. is in right now. Hard to spend money on marketing right now when the alternative is taking away a scholarship or two from a sport. That is why, very literally, every dollar matters to UNI, and there is no such thing as too small of a donation to the PSC. If we could find even 500 more people to join at $50 a year, that's $25,000. Maybe the difference between posters and no posters??

There is usually about 3 weekends of tennis in the fall, with the rest in the spring.

I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

UNI fans seem to ***** a lot

Re: Posters

I'm confused. You think the ones who ***** a lot are or aren't PSC members?

are not. its rather disappointing that a tax deductible $50 per year (which might only take $25 if your company matches) is such a chore in this day and age of athletic sports.

I'm amazed how how people can't find $50 to donate to the PSC because of a tight budget (which I understand), yet for an average family of 4 to go out to eat (which most families do two or three times a month on average) is probably 40-60 bucks a time...depending where they go.

Well, see, I ***** a lot and I'm a member. I was going to post that before, but then I thought maybe that was what you meant. That people thought being a PSC member gave them a right to *****.

I don't know how widely known it is that you can give $50. Doesn't all the literature show a minimum giving level of $200? Of course UNI will probably take any amount someone wants to give.

Also it's not tax deductible for everyone, myself included, and very few employers match gifts. The ones that do tend to employ a lot of people, but it still is very few.
