Only 100 donors to this campaign so far? I know a lot of people here have donated, but we've got to do a lot better than that. I shared the link on my Facebook page.... Idea. What about a dm blast to everyone on this board about it, I’m sure as owner of board there is a way for you to make this happen. Guys who rarely frequent the board can see it if they have like email notifications on and maybe that can help funding a bit. |

numerous TV and or radio stations enjoy it when SDSU is doing well - maybe any one who has a contact might ask if they would do another feature about SDSU and mention the Match Donation
In addition wonder if the Padres TV station could add a note about it ? think a lot of the Padres have attended a SDSU game or two

I tried to copy and paste the fund me site link listed initially so I could forward to alums I think would donate. It came back as corrupted. Does anyone have a good link we can all forward to alums out of town or who don't visit Aztec Mesa? Thanks! It would be more impactful if it shows the $300k matching. Try this one. It has a letter from Coach Dutcher talking about the importance of NIL with the match: www.spotfund.com/story/84975a3e-932e-45b7-af47-e2b51194c396?SFID=MESAMatchThanks! |

Dutcher is back from MM - and would guess the Media might want to interview him - and it might not hurt for him to add that that there is an opportunity to donate and get it matched

Everybody and anybody on this board that has complained, bitched or lamented about the unfortunate state of affairs regarding NIL imbalance or the frustrating history last year of missing out on two different bigs because of NIL HAS to donate something. PL200
It takes less than 5 minutes. There's no amount too small. You don't have to join a club or do it every month or sell your first-born either. Suck it up, put on your big-boy pants and click the link. Let's see how much we can raise just this weekend. We're sitting at $6,038($12,076 with match) since this Thread posted.
Thanks to the good fans who donated and did something about the problem rather than just talking about it!
It's now Tuesday evening and you had a day or two to finally wind down from the 2023-24 BB season. What was that season like?:
26 Wins
Went to the Sweet 16 in March Madness for the 2nd straight year
Finished #17 in Final AP Poll, #18 in Final Coaches Poll: you know, ahead of teams like Kansas, Kentucky, Auburn etc.
Had a player win the Karl Malone, Best Power Forward in THE COUNTRY!!! Award in Jaedon LeDee. He also made the AP and everyone else's All-American teams.
Had zero players go on academic probation, get arrested or get suspended
Now have 25 straight years of Head Coaches who are beloved family men who treat their players like they're family and make them feel like a permanent part of the Aztec family enough to come back and visit or just hang out.
Do you realize how unbelievably lucky we are to have this in our midst? So talk yourself into a simple click that will make you feel even more connected to "The Program" than you did before. Even if it's just $10.
"No Ceiling Sir!"
Thanks to everyone so far for donating.

Once you donate they make it real easy to forward to others you know via email and social media. I donated through here this year to get the matching funds and know my group will as well. Go Aztecs!

This Matching offer has gotten out to the community, a lot of which is from the people on this board. Congratulations and thanks. So I will no longer attempt to wax poetic or guilt you into donating as many of you have already donated multiple times. I will periodically and succinctly put updates here though.
The overall Matching Total as of this morning is $19,192($38,384 with match).

For those suggesting it would be good to have the $300,000 match program on the MESA website to ensure this program is directly tied to MESA, you can now see it on the MESA website landing page. Also, Coach Dutcher will be on the Jon Schafer show on Thursday at 3pm and then NBC News later in the day which should include commentary around the importance of fundraising and joining MESA. Hopefully this is well received and more donations to follow. www.mesafoundationsd.org |

Eric, that was a great PM. Great Idea Fisherville. I received about 10 PM responses, and everyone is donating. This is a big deal, and I'm glad to do whatever I can to help Aztec Athletics. Just keep spreading the word! |
