[QUOTE="ilovetheoption, post: 398937, member: 1414"] FWIW, I think the 5 and 10 dollar donations might even be more important, and here's why (bear with me). If you are one of the 300 hardened GT donors that gives 1000 bucks, you're going to be with the program NO MATTER WHAT. If you're the kind of guy that gives a G for recruiting, you're all in, and have been for some time. This program doesn't make a lick of difference for how much you care about GT's program, you were at 100% to begin with. They have season tickets, and they're going to be there, rain or shine. That said, there are about a million and fifty people who have no skin in the game at all, and see GT and go "oh I kinda like them". If you get THAT guy to put in 10 bucks, he's got a little connection to the program, and I'm of the opinion he's WAY more likely to one or two random saturdays in the fall go "you know, lets head downtown and watch a game, I actually contributed to that team, I'd like to see if it paid off". Building that secondary network of folks who actually sorta care about the program, because they feel like, in some small way, they're personally connected. They're PART of that program, and it's THAT level of folks, who bring their kids to games, whose kids wear GT gear around school, who have GT bumper stickers but aren't invited to the luxury suites that make a program and a following. I know it takes 100 of those folks to equal the up front impact of one hard core type, but I think long term, that's how you want to be. Thats the kind of person GT needs to be reaching out to.
