Maybe we can convince Amazon to add George Mason Collective to their Amazon Smiles program?

If you don’t know about this, if you have an Amazon account you can designate a charity and so long as you shop at SmileAmazon.com a portion of everything you buy goes to said charity.

That’s what I proposed a few weeks ago. Use the current business partners for the collectives. We offer Eagle Bank a big discount to have their name on the arena, with the understanding that they’re funding the collective. Players wear Eagle Bank polo shirts in post-game interviews.

They’re already getting an unbelievable deal, no way we should give them a discount. Just allocate the naming rights $ to the collective, I doubt the university needs Eagle Bank’s approval to do so.

I assume the naming funds go at least to the University and maybe the Athletic Department.
Do you really think GMU would give that money to a non-tax deductible Collective

Why wouldn’t they?

The Amazon Smile program was killed last year.

Why new Virginia NIL law is harbinger of things to come for NCAA​

Makes me wonder how much those coaches making $1M plus are going to kick back to the players

Can we give Bezos an honorary diploma and name some buildings after him. Hey, shoot for the moon

His ex-wife is the one who donates money

I believe the sequence is give money and have a building or school named after you and then get your honorary degree/Mason Medal.

"The annual $5 million NIL contribution from FedEx also includes a 50% match clause, according to Veatch. He said the university will start a campaign to raise an additional $2.5 million per year, and 'we believe that is very attainable based on where we’ve been in the past.'"

Given the Governor making NIL legal starting July 1…. Can You guys envision the NIL collective being allowed to put up a table in the concourse during halftime and encouraging people to donate via Apple Pay? When you think about it…. The concourse is valuable real estate in a way. Wouldn’t it make sense to at least give them a table and give them permission to try to get donations at men’s games and a few women’s games?
