For what it's worth I've been a reoccurring donor and have yet to receive my magnet.... I'm tired of seeing all this Famu paraphernalia in my neighborhood. A few of us have Aggie Flags out but sheesh lol. Need some Aggie love in Charlotte Steele Creek area.

[/ I just moved to Tampa, definitely going to rock my A&T nalia I love everything about Tampa/Ybor city/Brandon and Apollo Beach. I travel for work. I'm staying in Brandon FL now until the beginning of August. The advertisements for the JSU vs Famu game has been on the radio since last month. Haven't heard anything in Charlotte about the Dukes Mayo Classic. However they're advertising the "HBCU culture Homecoming fest and BOTB" Nov 6th left and right.

It appears we have 191 donors. I’m not sure what that equals in terms of giving but I can safely assume not nearly enough to bust a grape.
Does the school even notice?

Interesting difference in how the events are advertised, maybe the promotions will pick up in august🤷🏾♂️ Yeah, I love it here…very diverse city with good food and plenty to do. I’ve met 3 Aggies so far, I’m sure there are more…I will speak with them about the 18.91 club.

Over $15,000 in five months. Less than 200 people, $18.91 at a time. That's a pretty damn good start with very little marketing. ...and no football yet.

That's a great point, but I'm gonna be the glass-half-empty guy here.
We could have easily surpassed the $100K mark with just a small acknowledgment from the university.
I believe most A&T alumni still dont view this as a legitimate donation option because the school has not yet cosigned it.

Craig aint the university; just like Steve Harrington wasn't the university. They are both volunteer leaders.
This thing needs to be promoted officially on ncat.edu and ncataggies.com in order to get the full effect.
And that would require the effort of somebody who is actually getting at paycheck at 1601 E. Market Street.

You're right, he's not. But his level of influence will certainly increase this summer. I'm perplexed at the fact that a few of coaches have plugged it on their own, but the university is silent and the AD has been also. It's the same as before. I too don't understand. What does Pyfrom think and what is her position on this funding stream?

I doubt it. There have been plenty of influential folks in the history of the school yet the school has historically moved at its own pace.
