Guys,... it would be wise to not believe ANYTHING McAlpin says. Hes been around here long enough to have gotten the job done. He makes well over $70,000 a year and hasnt produced ANYTHING on that board. Hes a professional bullisht artist and all that "repackaging" talk is simply to try and talk over the general publics head... To the average cat he will talk soooo much that one might assume that he knows what hes talking about...but the bottom line is not about talking and selling strategy.. its about results... which he CLEARLY hasnt produced... "Twin" , you a little harsh calling the man a bull$h*t artist. Would you admit you dont know how to get more money if it was your job to get money? He is throwing up some smoke and mirrors though because even though 40K to 200k is damn impressive over 3 years, what he didn't say is how much of that was due to A&T getting new avenues of sales. Prior to 2004 A&T didn't have the scoreboard to sell space on. How much of that 200k are from the current ads and commercial spots during games. Subtract that money from the 200K and see how much more he improved from 40K. Phil McAlpin: “You can do that now. You can go to the university website and go to the development area of the website and be able to click on a link and make a gift. Now, we need to do a better job of promoting that and letting folks know that they can do that. But just like you can buy a ticket online, you can make a contribution online."
Is there any way that can be integrated into the actual athletic website so that a fan who wants to support one of the athletic teams can make a donation right there on ncataggies.com, without even having to go to the main ncat.edu site?
Phil McAlpin: “Well that’s an I.T question as far as getting that type of system set up, but that’s a good idea. That’s something we need to bring up to (Director of Development Operations) Patricia Brown, who heads up out annual fund program and see if we can get that done. If fact, if you go over the School of Arts & Sciences' webpage, you should be able to do something similar there. You should be able to go over to the Engineering webpage and do the same thing. So that’s a good suggestion that you make there.”
And that should have been done. Its not even Thrilla's or anyone else's jpb on this board to notice that and we have been preaching that for a very long time. Donating should be made easy. Should have asked him about the damn bookstore and that "something" ACT that doesn't allow joe blow to buy shirts online.

What is the deal with all of these titles involving fundraising How about getting the money in, to hell with titles involving all these people who pass the buck off to someone else. To me the primary person for raising money for the athletic department is the AD and all other persons comes underneath her. You can have one a fundraising arm like the Rams Club even there there is one or two head persons. All of this dividing up the top responsibilities of fundraising has to cease. Have one visible person in charge of all athletic fundraising so there will be no mistaken of who is responsible. I might add that in my opinion the reason we have a Aggie Club and a Victory Club is because negroes at and around A&T can't work together for a common cause.

Who in the hell holds people accountable for doing their damn job at A&T?? What kind of business are we running?? Hell maybe we are "substandard" after hearing how some folks think and act around there.

Three things: 1) A good question for Slick Phil would have been why he rides around in a company car drumming up funds for his "real business," Win-Win Resolutions. Slick Phil is the President of the company. Look it up. Hmmmm. Is he president only in the evenings and on weekends? I doubt athletic fundraising is an 8:00a - 5:00p job.
2) Thrilla, that was a high school _itch move calling out antfan like that. Although I'm not one of the "twins," I am aware of a few people who post with an alterego. Who cares about someone's damn IP address? We look to you & Dooms (Dr. Dooms, whatever) to keep the board jumping with hot topics, not to diminish the integrity of the board by getting in stabs at folks whose opinions you may not always agree with. The message board allows folks to post anonymously; so, if that's the option chosen, that's what it should be.
3) Slick Phil is arrogant and has alienated some former A&T corporate sponsors by talking down to them and indicating that they can't afford to pay enough to be recognized as a supporter of Aggie athletics. I have a buddy at Polo who attests to this; and there are other companies who refuse to deal with Phillip all together because of his attitude. He feels he's safe in Dowdy because he doesn't report directly to Todd. He feels no one can touch him. Maybe now he feels Battle is turning up the heat...(his new pseudo-campaign: a million dollars in 5 years), what a joke!

What is the difference between the aggie club and the victory club. Do they not serve similar interest. It is frustrating that the university seems to make boneheaded decisions. it also frustrating that many people at the university dont seem to have a sense of urgency. Do any of us as alums have the ear of the administration at the university? Does anyone get feedback about their concerns? And to piggyback of an earlier statement, who holds these people accountable. If we meet budget, but dont exceed budget through capital campaigns, is that considered a failure or sucess. Are our goals aggressive enough. Is that info made public? I see enough good desicions at the university to know we have some competence, but i dont know if those people are being driven to make drastic improvements.

Like many of us would appreciate the option to not see your child's picture after each of 10 million posts. Nah, homeboy. What has diminished the integrity of the board over the last few months have been these "twin" posts. If you have an opinion state it and it can be debated. Don't make up an alter ego to agree with your posts, since nobody else is backing you up. Too many posters are now all of a sudden "insiders" who really don't know a darn thing except what they hear at the barbershop. I enjoyed the board alot more when what was discussed was the new recruits, Monday morning quarterbacking about play calls and reports on the team from people who are at practice. Now it seems like every thread is about merging with UNCG, the school is going to hell, a degree from A&T doesn't mean anything, everybody at the school is incompetent.... I'm really looking forward to winning some games and getting back to enjoying posting up here.

Dude, if you want to keep up this little masquerade at least try to do it more cleverly than you are now. All of your posts have the same tone and speech pattern. You keep using the same three computers and I know the IP addressess to all of them. In short, you are not fooling anybody. If anything, you are just making yourself look bad.
Right now you are behaving like a scorned woman, running on the Internet to try to spread dirt about her hated rival. I'm sorry that Phil and Dee Todd have obviously angered you so much, but I think its pretty cowardly to invent these puesdo personalities just so you can make personal attacks against them and rally support for the few members of the athletic department that you are fond of.

Don’t piss them off. They probably have more posts together than most of the board does combined.

I did look it up. Here's what I learned: Win-Win Resolutions, Inc. is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina. Win-Win Resolutions is dedicated to violence prevention by developing conflict resolution skills using theatre education and peer mediation programs. Win-Win reduces violence and prejudice in schools and communities by teaching conflict resolution and positive social skills through interactive drama for youth (PreK through High School) and adults. The objective of Win-Win Resolutions, Inc. is to provide: Conflict Resolution programs and training through theatre arts education for grades K-12 Middle/High School based peer mediation programs Parent/Teacher Conflict Resolution Training Classes BTW: McAplin is not on staff there. He is on the volunteer board. Along with other prominent professionals in Greensboro who are donating their time and expertise to help out this non-profit. www.winwinresolutions.org/board.htmlI don't really know the man from Adam but I don't see why you are hellbent on slandering him.

BTW: What's worse? Using your free time to serve on a volunteer board where you can potentially network with other top corporate figures in the area and possibly convince them to do business with A&T athletics ... or spending your office time on a football message board creating pueso-identities and launching a smear campaign against people you obviously don't have to guts to criticize to their face?

You two are sick! Thrilla, you have my account information. Email me so I can give you my number. After I talk to you, I'm gonna need for you to (for once) admit when you're wrong.

The point was that McAlpin has solicited for Win-Win during the business day. FACTUAL. He is quite active on the "volunteer board." Non-profit has nothing to do with it. This time (M-F, 8:00a - 5:00p) should be spent raising funds for A&T. That's not slander. Why are you so hellbent on contradicting things you're not aware of? Let me know when you're ready to talk.
