Let's pick it up guys. Other schools would be in the millions of dollars by now. So many of us complain that Sha isn't getting the players we want him to get. See Rutgers just signing Will Sydnor for example. A player we wanted but simply were outbid for his services. He would have been a starting PF for us, but we could not afford him. Maybe just another $200-300K would have made the difference.
We all have to do better if we want to be more than just an afterthought in the Big East.
There's still time as we are now recruiting size. But more than that we want quality size and that's where we can help.
Please give if you can. No amount is too small.

My law school class (not SHU) had 147 people (of 334 total) donate last year. Have to do better than 900 people across an entire school for every class year! (Not apples-to-apples b/c not all those donations were on giving day, of course--but still!)
Wait till they count my check which is in the mail...the totals will zoom up!
Only a small number from my class has contributed so far. Kind of depressing when I think about it.
I "only" see $246,000 to Men's Basketball Revenue Share.....yes that will get the match, but we need to do better than this...
That's my point. If we were say Providence this figure would be millions and million of more dollars.
Not everyone wants to support their basketball program(s), and I understand that. But if you're a regular on this board you know the score. That's why I do not understand from those here re the lack of supporting a sport that is obviously important to you. Otherwise you wouldn't be on this board.

There is also the 1856 challenge, if the school gets 1856 donors, someone is going to donated $500K the way I read it. Only at around 50%.

There is a new Basketball Revenue Share Match today since we hit the 4 to 1 yesterday.
Matches 1 to 1 up to $100,000. This would put us over $1.2 Million if hit today.

Repole should donate to SHU since a stronger Big East benefits SJU!
And some posters think you dont bring much to this forum. This'll show 'em....
Providence giving day was April 10th and they had 4303 donors and received $4.37M. It was done in one day too. Hoping we are at least half of that.
I believe that is without the matches....correct? because the Men's basketball fund clearly met the match, but those dollars were not reflected
I believe we need $31,000 to get to $1.31 Million for MBB Rev Share in total with both matches
Currently at $380,188 and $68K is from today. That is without the 2 separate matches..
200k yesterday matched 4 to 1 (+800k)
112k yesterday no match
68k today 1 to 1 match (+68k)
So our total with match is $1.248 Million with another $32,000 in 1to 1 match available with 6 hours remaining.

plus another couple hundred grand to Pirate Blue which I have to imagine can also somehow be used for getting players...
Scroll up on the link for Challenge info
Looks like $1.343 Million to Rev Share with the 900k in matches plus another 218k to Pirate Blue. Probably about $1.5 Million to Men's Basketball. That's a solid amount but only 202 donors to Rev Share and 129 to Pirate Blue is terrible.
Between the stms and non stms on these boards, it’s unfathomable to only have about 300 donors. Can’t believe there are only 300 or so who would donate from those audiences. Communication/outreach has to be part of the problem
Do you think the raw number of donors was higher pre NIL? I doubt it, but would be interesting.Maybe NIL is part of the problem.
Most Pirate Blue fans are giving all year long in many of the fundraisers $1,000 for Bay Head Yacht Club, etc.
