A number of other schools have done this.

Aaron Suttles left his message board to help lead Bama’s NIL site.

UGA started one in February - ours is identical: https://gloryglorygeorgia.com/
I happened to be in Athens the day after it started and went to a Magill Society event with a friend who is a a big UGA donor.
The head of their Bulldog Club said they had about 2,500 sign up the first day, and it led to an unsolicited $100k donation.

So as usual, other schools fans jump on board things, and we have our fans look for reasons to say no.

Starting an exclusive message board in 2026 is not exactly the forward thinking we need to keep up. I hope its successful, but a better idea would be to copy Clemson's IPTAY with an $18.78 micro donation. Could have probably raised $500k this weekend. I'd be surprised if this thing ever hits $500k revenue.

I like Fluff, but I don't need exclusive access to ask him questions that will be hand selected and someone else will write his answers. So lazy.

Hate to say it because star power never impressed me and I’m pushing 50, but I want to watch my team play ball. I give two farts about talking to them on Zoom.

I see it as more of an exclusive fansite, where folks can hear things right from the source AND be a part of a private collective. It just happens to have a message board, crootin articles and all the other shlt that goes with a fansite. And it's also a place where we can keep everybody on the same team. Let's face it all the private ones have a slight bit of an agenda from whoever owns them. Most times that aligns with the university's mission, but not always.

I don't know if it's a positive or negative, but probably a necessity. Especially if you don't have the biggest collective out there.

I also don't know what it means for other paysites. I suspect they all will still have a role.

I was wondering also. Young kids may want some autographs but do older adults really want to hang out w/ teenagers and be "star struck"?

I could see a parent going to it for it to get an autograph for their small kids, but that might be about it.

Wonder if this has anything to do with the "double secret" email that went out earlier this week pitching a fan gathering before the baseball game "South of the Polk Plaza" ? I read the email but haven't seen any further details.

So that they can hit you up every week throughout the year for more. There is seldom a day (if ever a day) that I don't get an email at one or more of my email addresses, a text, or both or something in snail mail from the university. It's cheap marketing for them. I've been changing my contact info over to other emails and a burner phone number I have to cut down on the pile up of info.

Don’t go negative on the new board or you will qualify for an all expense paid trip.

It has a lot of credibility just because of Charlie & Robbie being involved.

The value is in access. If they still allow ON3 and rosebowl access then you’re creating your own competition…

Interesting. The athletic department has gone from hating the message boards to having their own premium one.

And no discount for annual membership is a little weird.

This will be a flop. The fans that would even entertain this are already locked into their respective groups, whether paid or free.

Just wait until Charlie shows DS the latest technology built into a Vizio... He'll get this thing shut down and flipped over to State1878 in a blink.
