Over40NINER for Chancellor. Weâll sponsor a BIKINI CONTEST. The winner must be female and receives $1000. Admission is $50 and includes free beverages for first hour (cash bar after that). We use 3 judges and auction off the opportunity to be a judge to the highest bidders. All proceeds go to NINER FOOTBALL. We get Packer to build it up on his show (yea, I know he may not be willing). Maybe we could even get Hooters to pay us to sponsor it.[/QUOTE]
If Hooters is involved, Packer will pimp it. He just will casually ignore the Niner football connection.
If Hooters doesnât want to get involved, toss Old Spice, Sundrop and Bubbaâs BBQ out there. Heâs pimped all of them before.

Good points. I mentioned Packer because it will be free advertising, even though I cannot stand his show.
Hmmmmmmm⌠maybe we can get him and/or Cornbread to be judges (theyâll love the attention) along with a couple of Panthers⌠and still auction off the opportunity for a couple other participants to also judge.
Yep⌠Iâm making this up as I go. My point is there are all kinds of ways to raise money and get additional support at the same time.

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=navy][COLOR=navy][FONT=Arial]âŚthanks for your business and support of Loweâs. Iâm pleased to know that you enjoy shopping at our stores. We have not yet discussed any potential involvement with respect to UNCC football, but Iâm sure we will be meeting with them at some point in time to better understand their plans. Take care.[/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]
IMHO this is the way to go⌠If CHP isnt going to get the ball rolling THE NATION NEED TO!!
A touch off topic, but, if I recall correctly, Obama has raised lots of money $100 or $500 at a time.
Smaller than that actually. I dont know the exact numbers, but I have heard that a huge percentage of the money that he has raised has been in under $100 donations. Thatâs a good point hootie. Never underestimate the power of a lot of small donations.

I think this is a great response to get back. Frankly Iâm shocked he checks his own email.
That being said I think we should be careful about contacting big money guys like Mr. Niblock one off as people not associated directly with the school. In the end it could hurt more than it helps. Letâs let the people who work for the school do the contacts on their end.

Just my opinion.
So youâre saying I shouldnât have sent them links of the Pole Vault thread in emails entitled âwhat football would bring usâŚâ ?

I would feel better about doing this as well, IF I had more confidence in âthe people who work for the schoolâ to do so! :unhappy:

Itâs important to distinguish who does what. CHP and the trustees make the decisions, but we have people who work for the school that do the fund raising that are good people and do a very good job.
If we get the go, I have no doubt they can do the leg work to get the dollars.
If we get Panthers or someone famous to judge the bikini contest at Hooters for 49er Football, theyâll charge. We could have 3 of our onw do it for free.

Yeah, apparently they do a really GREAT job. Look at all the corporate sponsorship as well as the 95% non-giving rate of alumni. To hell with that, letâs take this thing grassroots. Maybe they will hire someone off of here with passion, creativity and wit to do this.

Nothing they can do about alumni who donât give a crap.
Best gauge of how they do is the look at the results of the annual giving campaign to fund the sports. Theyâve done very well with that in the past. Iâm betting this year wonât be any different.
