Also, put a cash drop box at every entrance gate to Neyland for home games. If everyone put in five bucks that’s half a million every single home game.
Additionally, the Southern Baptist in me wonders if we could also “pass the plate” DURING the game😂

That suggestion reminds me of the Sunday I went to preach at an African-American church, when I was a Pastor in Georgia. (I promise you what I'm saying is the Gospel truth.) When it came time for the Sunday offering, two guys that were about the size of an offensive lineman went to the back door and stood as they passed the plate around, the deacons counted the money and the head Deacon rose and scolded the members for not giving enough telling them no one was leaving until they gave enough money. And brothers and sisters they raised the funds required to satisfy the Deacon board. However, I must add this tidbit of advice. Don't try this in an all Caucasian church. Let me tell you from experience that don't work.

Reminds me of this classic Flip Wilson sketch (with Red Fox) where he comes up with a novel way to increase the offering 😂
13 minutes long but man if it ain’t hilarious

That was the first time I have seen that skit. You wouldn't believe how close to the actual event it comes to. That was funny!!

That may be accurate, i dont know.

However, if 1/2 of the fans donated $25 per month, the money would be plentiful IMO. And honestly, many/most of us piss aeay more money than that weekly.

Assuming 500k people donated $25 per month/$300 per year, that would be $150M per year...
My challenge to any fan complaining or worrying about recruiting, find $25 per month and make a difference. That is all it would take to put us in the position to attract all of the talent needed to compete.

I'll donate the money to the scholarship fund but not to a collective. Sorry! For me my donation is all about providing educational opportunities to folks.

I like the idea of passing the plate and change the 3rd Q song to "Great is Thy Faithfulness" and side eye anyone who doesn't know the words, just like church.

If Heuple isn’t active in the portal he should be fired immediately. His stance that he would rather build his program by freshman recruits is garbage all of our opponents are actively filling their roster through the portal. Only old school coaches are not taking advantage of the transfer portal

Your call and if the runors of the university directly paying players are true, your money may have some impact on recruiting. Until then it will have little to no impact on the level of talent this team fields.

We all gotta do what we gotta do. But i would hope the ones refusing to be a part of the collective arent complaining about the talent on the field.

Did he make the announcement like this: “the good news is we have the money needed, the bad news is it’s still in your pockets”

While I love to watch the Vols and Lady Vols play, I am all about education first. I buy tickets, go to the games and spend money there for food. If the revenue from the tickets and the revenue they get from television and radio, merchandise sales can't fund the sports programs, then maybe they need to scale back on those.

I donate to give back as a result of the education I obtained, not because of the sports programs.

We get you don’t like CJH. Almost every one of your 19 posts are negative comments about CJH. Interestingly you weren’t on Volnation posting those things in 2022.

I’m all for kids getting to take advantage of NIL but I personally have no intention to donate to a collective. Where does my $5/month even go? What am I paying for? Am I subsidizing someone else’s marketing budget? I’ll let the millionaires fund that stuff. Their businesses will get the marketing return by having these guys do posts, appearances, and commercials. Maybe I will make more of an effort to patron that business if they have TN players in their ads or whatever.

When your incoming exceed your outgoing ... the NCAA comes calling ... just kidding ... we do not have room for all of those with an offer.
I was tempted to strike through Justin Joly, but I decided to take the prudent route of wait and see (even though I personally think there is 0% chance he ends up here.)
:^) ... That's all I got folks!
