D Brown says I need to be an AD

I just took on another challenge

sent this out this morning- didn't list you as one of the original 9 since you have other issues to tend to.

let me know what you think:

Gentlemen,

Hope all is well. Not sure if all of you have heard but Poly is playing at Wisconsin Nov 22^nd. That is after at san diego state and Montana at home to open the season.

It looks like the program is going places we only could have dreamed about- quite a step up from 14 hour bus rides to Humboldt- good times

Any way- I talked to Payam yesterday. He mentioned that the alumni group- the guys putting together the spring game BBQ and golf- said that there is not much representation from the teams of the 90’s. which may make sense, since I know personally I haven’t done anything for the program other then go to the san diego state game 2 years back.

So here is what I am thinking- let me know if you all are in or not. I think I picked a decent mix of guys that can not only hit up the right people but also has a different connection to various groups of ex players.

I set a goal- I think it is reasonable but I could be way off. I haven’t talked to anyone else other then Payam at Poly. I’m thinking we get a group of 200 guys that will be willing to donate a minimum of $250 ANNUALLY. This would be a solid base that we can grow year over year. This would be money going directly to the Football program- I need to confirm that but I believe so- or we wouldn’t be that incented to do it.

I have a concept of how we can do this as well- we are going to introduce a pyramid scheme to fund raising-HA

I have listed out 9 of us- if each of you choose to take on this challenge here is a way we can do it

Each of you commit to recruit 5 others that will bring in the minimum $250.

Then we each work with those 45 people to make sure they go out and recruit at least 3 others willing to commit the $250 minimum.

If my math skills are correct we would be pretty close to having our 200 member base. The 50k would follow from there. I am sure some will be willing to pony up more then 250.

To recap- each of you pay at least 250 and find 5 others that will pay minimum of 250 and recruit at least 3 others.

You all follow that?

Call if you have any questions.

What do you guys think? How sweet would it be to present Payam- forget Ellerson of whoever the AD is- with a 50k check in April? And tell him we got another 50k minimum next year.

Respond back to the group with any suggestions-

Let me know if you are in or not-

I’m putting up the first 1k- 49k more to go

We get to 50k we will invite everyone to san diego state game for tailgate and party

Lets do this

By the way- we are going to Wisconsin- anyone else have interest?
