    Default Locker Room Donations

    Let me start by saying that I like the idea of a new recruiting tool and swanky locker rooms seem to be quite impressionable on these young men, but i have a few questions/comments/concerns. So 4 valued options and the smallest being $2500 than an other blank?! Is this strictly an in-kind donation or do we receive priority points? Is this tax deductible? Did not see on the letter answers to either of those questions. Lastly, any one else think the strategic release date on these letters is aimed at taking advantage of donors before they receive the big invoice in Feb for season ticket renewals?

    They didn't send me a letter. It would be tax deductible. I would guess 1 priority point for every $100, like other building projects have been.

    This is a huge deal so let's get it done. The rest of the FCS is raising their game and we need to keep up. The difference between getting a top recruit or missing out is very slim so anything that has the WOW FACTOR can be the difference. Remember SDSU, Illinos State, Southern Illinois, and even Misery State now have new stadiums. SDSU, UND, and Youngstown have amazing indoor practice facilites. Most teams in our conference have way better locker room than we do. Now many of the teams are offering Full Cost Of Attendance. This is a small but pretty impactful project.

    If anyone wants to donate to the new locker room project

    1) Go to http://ndsuathleticfund.com
    2) Click "Give Now button
    3) Choose "Football Locker room fund. "

    From there it's pretty self explanatory. You can make a donation for any amount so if you don't have hundreds or thousands to donate, it all adds up.

    The sooner we can fund this, the sooner we can move on to other much needed projects like the softball stadium and Indoor Practice facility!

    And NDSU played in the last 5, your point is? Yes we need to continue to move forward.

    Bump.... Let's get this thing funded. It would be awesome to raise the money so we can start building it before the camps in late June. As posted by PL it will cost somewhere between a 500k to a million. We can get to the half million with a lot of smaller donations.

    To donate it's simple.
    Go to http://www.gobison.com
    click the "give now" button on the top right.
    Select "Football Lockerroom Fund" and donate anywhere between $20 and 2 millions dollars.
