    The check represents the amount Teammakers gives to NDSU for scholarships. It doesn't represent the entire amount raised by Teammakers in any given year. And remember there are numerous endowed scholarships that contribute to the cost of the athletic scholarships also. This money does not flow through the Teammaker organization. It comes from the NDSU Foundation.

    Possibly, with the crappy team and the seat situation, can't help. I know any growth we see will be driven by basketball.

    I see they updated the donor names in mid Dec. I was under the impression that you would be recognized for your total amount donated including COA? I gave $250 towards TM and $750 to COA, yet on the list I'm in the Green and Gold category which I think is $250. I know this was brought up last year and I though someone said they were going to list everything, not just the TM membership. Anyone know anything on this?

    the money is there, if the recognition is the most important thing you may be doing it wrong

    I would love to see anyone going to games to donate at least $50 thats pretty small to ask and can go a long ways. Im pretty sure Im the only person to donate above the seat fee in my group but the damn fun ive had doing it is great

    I noticed that they have an updated members list but dont know if the points have been updated. I checked my account and they hadnt. You may want to call for clarification. They will eventually get it done. I think they tabulate TM donations first. Then they figure the other funds. Plus you have a lot of folks who paid their TM dues early to take advantage of the tax rules. So that may also be the slow down.

    The recognition of what he speaks is to have all of the donations count for priority points. Last year that wasnt so.
    One needs to keep track because those points are important for season tickets and parking spots for tailgate.

    I went through the current list of TM members. I did not see many players from all sports that competed for the Bison in the last 10 years. Now to be fair the last name of the women student athletes could have changed if they got married. It has been brought up here before about the "regular" student not joining TM after graduation. Question I will ask is how many student athletes that are direct recipients from the money that TM raises, how many of them have joined. They get 100 PP right away and should be able to do $100/y membership (or more). Just a question I will put out there. Before anyone wants to fire back at me , also realize the commitment all of them had while competing on behalf of NDSU while still taking care of their education.

    Off the top of my head I know at least 7 guys I played with who donated 2,500.00 to the locker room fund. There is another at least 20 players I know who played after me who donated 2,500.00 as well.

    After leaving NDSU students are looking to find there way in life. I wouldnt look to having a lot of former players join TM right out of the box. Life gets busy not only family wise but career as well.
