BTW, saw this in some other posts......Jay has been clear this is NOT set up and a non-profit. That was a mistake other collectives made.

I have no idea why I cannot reply. Tried a bunch of times. Yes, we are keeping Cole and Grey Zabel as Bison! Great news.

Re: The Green and the Gold Collective Sunday Night Event
I am dying a slow death on the computer today. I will try again.
Currently, we are not taking home any pay. I would guess that will change. Our goal from the start was to have expenses under 10%. THe national average for a collective is 24-34%. We take pride in that. We want the money to go to the student athletes. Some of our expenses are one time expenses, like the website. Some will be annual like software, contract with NDSU, etc. Couldn't do it without the help of our amazing fan base. Bison Nation has REALLY stepped up. Working on a get together in January. Stay tuned. Crazy busy but I try to answer any questions that donors may have. sorry for my rushed answer. I hope that helps.
Thank you all for your consistent positive energy. It has really been fun. Amazing day!

Great answers! Thank you for this post!
Might I suggest a 'Green & Gold' merchandise store? Is there anywhere to buy G&G merch?

We typically have 120 players on the football roster. 63 scholarships, not everyone is a full ride so some are partial scholarships (1/4 to 1/2 to 3/4)
Average scholarship cost is complicated but lets use 10k base tuition for simplicity sake.
57 additional scholarships x $10,000 = $570,000 (does not include room, board, books, etc)
Of course that's not taking care of the existing 63 scholarships, so give them $10,000 each
63 x $10,000 = $630,000
Combined is 1.2 million per year for 57 additional scholarships + $10k for the existing 63
Players who are already getting a full ride + room/board/books + full cost of attendance get an extra $10,000. You have to remember college players can't work much because they are going to school full time and football is basically a full time job
Boom.
Then you have the star players. We will never be able to match P5 offers but we can set up endorsement deals to earn them real money. Obviously a star QB like an Easton Stick, or a stud player like Christian Watson, Marcus Williams, Jabril Cox, or John Crockett will be in higher demand and potentially earn legit money, depending on what a business will pay
So the base collective will truly be "collective" and the stars will be "free market."
That's ideal
You could also pay room/board/books for walk ons, but limit it to preferred walk ons and do 29 full rides instead of 57 tuition only
I have really struggled with NIL but would absolutely sign up for something like this with G&G. Helping offset tuition and living expenses for partials and walk on's makes a ton of sense. Does anyone know if the collective is set up to do that?
Re: The Green and the Gold Collective Sunday Night Event
Being greedy here, but is there any word on the 2 QBs?
