I know the 63rd in concert revenues was def true at a time, but I don’t know how accurate that is anymore. I live nearby and there aren’t a ton of events going on as frequently as they used to at EBA, particularly concerts.

Here’s the list of upcoming events for the next few months, only 1-2 of these really jumps out as something that will have really large attendance that would surpass what a 6-7k arena could handle.

Is Dre's 10/10 a NCAA record?
Also, I might be tempted to replace Merton, Morrison, or Butler with Andre Gaddy. Though I am also all in on Derevjanik and Pearson.
Yeah- 10/10 is an NCAA record
Great idea, maybe an all caps email should be sent

Realistically grassroots fundraising won’t help us triple our coaching salary if it came up again where we were getting poached, but that said I’m not opposed to our AD trying to borrow some of the more successful tried/true fundraising techniques from politics. Increased communication and making it easier to donate (direct from text messages, more easily setting up recurring donations, looking for more small dollar donations to bring people into the ecosystem, etc.).‘We’re positively BEGGING you’: how Republicans and Democrats demand money differently
Meticulously crafted campaign emails and text messages, with a heavy dose of guilt-tripping, reveal their parties’ worldviews
"But, despite the annoying nature of the communications, they seem to work, perhaps because they are so meticulously crafted. Toby Fallsgraff, email director for the Obama 2012 campaign, explained to NPR how the campaign would test up to 18 versions of a message on certain subscribers before sending it out widely. Emails brought in roughly $500m for the campaign. A few years later, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign asked for money 50 different ways in one month."
Why not try that approach with our fanbase? Aggressive fundraising might bring in some money we can squirrel away so we can use that money to fend off the power schools.
There’s gotta be a happy medium to something like this. Threatening emails scaring people to donate is not something realistic and not something mason will do or I want them to do. But something that sells the mason product on what’s upcoming and being invested in, is realistic.
Yeah I think it would be a mistake to try to mirror content with excessive hyperbole and scaremongering but the idea of using text to go direct to donors with more info about what’s going on with the program, and insight to what donations get used for the better. And our donation page could absolutely use modernization. Right now I know for a fact there are people confused when they make donations about having to put the amount in a separate field for friends of mbb. It should be intuitive.
If you aren't aware, they've already poured a lot of money into the Coach's Show from a technical and production aspect.
This! It's about the connection to people from the university.
Could not agree more. One of the many things I've bitched about over the years with @MasonFanatic is how anything new seems like a top secret project. There HAS been major strides (coaches show has really helped some of the simple/boring stuff like injuries, being transparent about recruiting etc) but there is still more to do.
Exactly - give us a plan with milestones and a schedule.
As much as we'd all love to see a plan with milestones and a schedule, I'm not sure we'll ever see it unless we are on the Patriot club advisory board.
