Time for all you message board geniuses to put your money where your mouth is, no excuse to not donate at least .99 cents and join the tribe.

Kudos I've not joined Link yet, but dropped some good change for the MESA Foundation and have had a great experience We have to take matters into our own hands. The time has come to stop complaining and now we have to take action. If you don’t have skin in the game don’t complain. Also send theses links to fellow SDSU fans that you know. Tell them how we got screwed in conference realignment and that we need to buy players now. |

The Azteclink one leaves me apprehensive
From the FAQ on the website
"What Percentage of Contributions Go to the Athletes?
Aztec Link is committed to maximizing the revenue available for distribution to San Diego State student-athletes. While we must cover variable fees related to producing merchandise and products as well as our overhead such as IT, legal, marketing, and accounting, we will be distributing all of the money received beyond these expenses to the San Diego State student-athlete community. The collective board will continually review finances and expenditures to ensure funds are being distributed per the donor’s intent, and in ways that most benefit this community. The collective Board of Directors and Advisory Board are not taking any compensation."
I do like Mesafoundationsd.org a more on its face reputable route to throw dollars to. I have been burned on certain orgs that put most of the donations into the overhead rather than the purpose. I don't want to bury Azteclink, but is there more info to vet this one better?

PAC 4 is falling apart. Donate to our NIL collectives. We need to start buying players. If you are mad or depressed about conference realignment, Donate! It’s a way you can directly help. If you don’t donate you have no right to complain.

MESA is a no brainer - tax deductible, and you know exactly who gets what year over year, plus little OH. AL not being a 503c, and not really knowing how it specifically works has always been a barrier for me. That said, I'm joining at the "spear" level just to support the program w/o much skin until I know more. $260/year isn't too painful. I would hope joining the "Village" ($12/year) would be a no brainer for everyone. |

Reminder. If you want to help SDSU football and Basketball immediately. Join both Aztec Link and The Mesa Foundation. Don't wait around to see how the conference expansion shakes out.

I know I am preaching to the choir but it feels like a good time to bring to the top.
If you have joined already post it on your social media to help get the word out.

Unfortunately us donating is of little actual consequence. The only way we can ever consistent get quality players or retain our current good ones is to find a couple sugar daddies to fund this thing and figure out how to convince Qualcomm, Rubio’s, Jack in the Box, etc to chip in a few million. We will be a middle of the pack MW team if it’s just us donating.

We will be a middle of the pack MW team if it’s just us donating. I agree and it seems dire now, but every little bit will help. Maybe the sugar Daddy needs to see the passion from 10,000 fans donating $40 which is what someone on here scoffed at because it would only buy us Parrish if you believe he ultimately got $400k. Maybe we have that Angel donor lurking and waiting to pounce. Let's show that person we care! I've donated the last two years. |

That’s a pretty big show of support in my opinion. It’s close to 90K and we still have a couple weeks left. www.spotfund.com/story/84975a3e-932e-45b7-af47-e2b51194c396?source=s&share_location=c&SFID=grn24sc |

Why ? So they can move on when a better NIL opportunity comes along ? So, they can trash the fans who simply don't have the money to pay spoiled and entitled kids ? Lifelong season ticket holders, AD supporters, and once or twice a year event goers are being priced out. Yet, these spoiled brats want more and demand we worship them. Yes, they deserve to get paid. They are the product. However, they are supposed the Students first. Athletes second. Personally, they should get about $25k per to help cover costs that the Scholly doesn't cover. Plus, they get some walking around money. Beyond that you're throwing money at kids who have no clue. These kids either want to play at, get an Education at, and be an alumni of a specific School or they don't. If they are there for the money, Feck them. |

Quit throwing your money at spoiled prima donnas who have zero appreciation for what they are getting and have
Support the Athletic Department, Support the University, not the Collective.
Between Parrishs' cry baby post and the rumors I have heard about Saunders Mom blaming the fans,.......
Screw them. I am done.
