Ticket Refund and No Future Donations...
Sorry, I am done with the PC, entitlement, “no fact” aspects of our society!!! I will be calling the ticket office and getting my ticket money back for next year. No more donations to USU athletics. I would rather these student-athletes focus on school. University won’t get my donation money and either will the players/student-athletes. They can pay for school like I’m doing for my kids now. DONE! Flame away...don’t care.

Re: Ticket Refund and No Future Donations...
You are also punishing university employees that owe their jobs to ticket sales and related athletic revenue. If this is the hill you want to die on, I guess.Snivellingtub5 wrote: ↑December 11th, 2020, 7:16 pmSorry, I am done with the PC, entitlement, “no fact” aspects of our society!!!

Re: Ticket Refund and No Future Donations...
Don't let the door hit ya. It's clear that you don't care about the student athletes, so they, and USU athletics as a whole, are better off without you. PEACE.

It's precisely because he does care about student-athletes that he's voting with his feet because it's as self-evident as any proposition can be that we don't have a football team comprised of male student-athletes but rather, entitled little girls.

Re: Ticket Refund and No Future Donations...
300 you are allowed to complain about parking and not being allowed to bring in a cooler to the stadium. 500 posts and you can threaten to stop your big blue donations over east side bathrooms or the marching bands song selection.Harcher wrote:Can you let me know what I'm allowed to be frustrated with due to only have 300ish posts?

Re: Ticket Refund and No Future Donations...
I can't say that I blame you. I will still continue to buy tickets and give donations but this team right now and the players on it are not giving me much of a motivation to really want to do it. I know I will continue to do it but that is just how I feel at this time.Snivellingtub5 wrote: ↑December 11th, 2020, 7:16 pmSorry, I am done with the PC, entitlement, “no fact” aspects of our society!!!

Re: Ticket Refund and No Future Donations...
I agree with this feeling. The Aggies are the only ones responsible for this mess, and the Aggies need to take responsibility of their actions. The Aggie leadership had days to solve this issue.Snivellingtub5 wrote: ↑December 11th, 2020, 7:16 pmSorry, I am done with the PC, entitlement, “no fact” aspects of our society!!!

Re: Ticket Refund and No Future Donations...
You act as if the USU football team is the only team in USU athletics. One thought: take your USU football ticket money and donate it to USU softball. They actually elect to play their games. Just a grain of reason from 918AGG.Snivellingtub5 wrote: ↑December 11th, 2020, 7:16 pmSorry, I am done with the PC, entitlement, “no fact” aspects of our society!!!

Truthfully, I missed a lot of this tonight, and I'm just now getting caught up. It's insane to think that our team would do this for ANY reason. Think about how many lives this affects during an already super-sh**y COVID year. Refs, the opposing team, the conference, TV personnel, local Colorado economies (yeah, I know there'd be nobody there anyways), USU athletics personnel, USU social media personnel - you're putting them all in a really sh**ty spot by doing this.
Noelle better have said some super messed up sh**. Goodbye Frank. Your version of USU football brotherhood sucks.
Live every week like it’s Shark Week!

Re: Ticket Refund and No Future Donations...
The sad thing is when GA was canned, it didn't necessarily feel like a full rebuild/restart/culture change/bottoming out was all that necessary. Just needed to find an up-and-coming coach to inject some juice (that GA lacked) to build upon what had been established over the last decade.
And then things just kept getting worse........
and worse

Re: Ticket Refund and No Future Donations...
I've had the thought that the money I give to Aggie Athletics could be better used elsewhere for a long time. Not saying I'm making any changes, just another data point.
Funny, a week or so ago I got a call from a football player thanking me for my donation, wonder what role he played here, how thankful is he really? (Obviously a rhetorical question.)

Cancel culture is NOT voting with your dollars. Clearly OP doesn't think his donation alone would cause the school to not have money for scholarships. Very few peoples donation to the BBSF is enough to impact the ability to give scholarships- plus a lot of the money is probably corpus. (I'm not sure on all of the technicalities of the BBSF- maybe it all goes to the GF)
Cancel culture is actively trying to get someone fired based on a statement that is vaguely alleged and very few people fully believe... (but more often based on a true allegation that occurred so long ago it no longer matters)...
One is a personal choice that is neither moral or immoral. He can do what he wants with his dollars- and it will not truly affect anyone else but him.
The other is an actual evil act (Actively trying to harm someone else with no evidence and what seems to very misleading and vague allegations)
Also, there is a big difference putting frustration on a message board, and making national news by trying to get someone fired.

Yeah I’m sure announcing on the board that he’s not donating anymore wasn’t an attempt to encourage others to do the same as well.

Re: Ticket Refund and No Future Donations...
I like some others, don't make a yearly donation. For a few reasons, I don't currently make enough money to do so (personal choice, not lack of opportunity, I am a high school science teacher), and second, I paid enough for 10 years of school (again personal choice, I liked learning random things from random classes). However I am still an avid Aggie. I have had 4 nieces and nephews attend USU because of my passion for everything Aggie related, Along with countless students (another reason I don't donate, I feel like my recruitment efforts are sufficient).
I want this school to succeed, I believe that the educational opportunities that are there are on par with ANY other school. I also want athletics to succeed.
I have felt like this football season was a cancer. I don't know the athletes, I don't know the coaches, but I know the perception that the community has about USU. (Based on my recruiting efforts with my students). When a patient goes in for cancer treatment, the doctors are not gentle. In an effort to rid the body of cancer, healthy tissue will also end up being removed. And along the way the patient will fill like death has come and won. HOPEFULLY, in the end though, the cancer is removed successfully, and the body will return to normal healthy function. This is what this year needs, a doctor that is willing to not only remove the cancer(which I believe was done), but also remove some healthy tissue along the edges, to ensure the cancer doesn't return.
We the fans, will feel like death has come and won, but in the end, the Aggie Nation will return to a healthy body and we will thrive.
Welcome Dr. Blake Anderson, your patient is prepped and ready.

Re: Ticket Refund and No Future Donations...
I have no problem with a person electing to not donate their money due to this mess. Personally I'd like to see the OP choose to donate his money to another area of the university, either another team, or to an academic department, or something like that.

Re: Ticket Refund and No Future Donations...
This is a weird time for boycotting the program. You want change? Guess what? We literally are getting change today! You got your wish. Maile is gone and many of the most vocal players involved in this will likely be gone. It is literally a new chapter in USU football today. I'd encourage you to support the new coach and new phase of the program, but you do you. This is an amazing planet with a ton of amazing things to do, so I don't judge people from wanting to spend their money elsewhere. Go scuba diving in the Maldives. You won't regret it.

Great post. I have never understood the hostility from the community to the university.
