If they wanted to roll out a facilities fundraising plan with specific goals etc where there was some visibility that would certainly help. Rn any donation feels like throwing money into a black hole for an administration that doesnât seem to care at all about keeping itâs fan base informed.

My post was a little tongue in cheek but they are courting donors in the million plus category to match the larger donor. There are letters that have been sent to interested construction firms. This is moving forward. Maybe not on our desired timeline but it is progressing. Mike Hill does know what he is doing. We may not like how he is doing it, but there are lots of things happening behind doors that most of us are not privy to.
I guess we will just have to take your word on itâŚ

Maybe CLT needs to hire High Point Universityâs president to raise money LOL. He is amazing. He is bringing a law school there I think. He basically owns High Point. Jokes aside, it seems that we need a professional fundraiser thst is very good. Then give he/she a percentage of the money that he brings in. I believe there are pros out there that could raise lots of money for us.

I am positive that The Athletic Foundation would welcome donations of any size. Every dollar is one dollar closer to that $5mm. If a thousand people gave a thousand dollars we would have a great start with a million.
A person can set up an Endowed Scholarship using a life insurance policy. One can write a check. You can help fund raise by passing along names of potential donors. There are tons of ways to involve oneself in the finances of the athletics program. You do not need to take my word for it. Call them up and ask how to get more involved. Thatâs what many of us did and that is how you find out info. If its not your cup of tea, it is understandable.
I think that winning will cure many of our ills. Thatâs what i am looking forward to. Everyone loves a winner and people will support a winner. Just look at Clemson. They were not always a top notch program. Part of the early â70âs sucked for them. They overcame their problems with IPTAY. I think we can too with a lot of effort from all. Sorry if this is âPolyannishâ. ButâŚGo Niners!

Was near campus yesterday so I did a drive by. Nothing new on the video board.
They were laying sod and doing other landscaping over at the student tailgate area.

Scoreboard looks like no physical progress has been made for several days. Wonder why.

Waiting on a new one?

Installers may not be scheduled until later. I highly doubt the installers and the delivery company were one in the same.
So we just have a trailer full of future scoreboard laying around?
Those trees look so real on the new big screen

Listen to the Mike Hill interview. With comments like â$80 million dollars doesnât raise itself overnightâ makes me believe that stadium expansion isnât happening anytime soon.

Apparently itâs the same size, which would explain why all the pictures show the side adds still in place. Also would explain why no fanfare.
