There seems to be a lot of interest as well as some confusion regarding Team Makers. Hopefully we can you use this thread to educate Bison fans who aren't members.
What is Team Makers?
Team Makers is a non-profit organization committed to raising scholarship money for student-athletes and assisting them in earning degrees for a successful future.
How do you join?
Fill out an application. (I recommend you visit with a Team Maker or two first so you understand the benefits there are dozens of active members of BV who are members and probably a thousand or more lurkers).

What are the benefits?
I think we all know one of these now.
Priority tickets for playoff events.
But that's really not the most important reason.
Team Makers provide opportunities for student athletes that otherwise wouldn't exist. NDSU would not have the success its had in football including 8 national championships if it wasn't for Team Makers. The same goes for our other sports which have had a ridiculous amount of success in Division II and now Division I.
Team Makers is for rich people, right?
I'm not rich, not even close. Many of the diehard fans on Bisonville give moderately, but are Team Makers in full standing. Of course, some give more and receive additional benefits (this is great as it means more help for student-athletes and a stronger program which I can mooch off of).
The Booster level of giving starts at $100/year. Almost everyone can afford that.

There are a bunch of additional details that can be brought up later in the thread.
My STRONG recommendation to any Bison fans who are not currently members is to join now. The football team isn't going to be getting any worse in the next three years. Seats are going to get harder and harder to come by.
Take ownership in the success of NDSU athletics. Support our hard working student athletes. Enjoy the best spectator athletics between the LaCross and the Pacific. Join Team Makers. BLAAAAHH!!!!!!
