We Will Collective contributor numbers

Question for @brentblum. Do the players inform you they’re coming back next year?

Or do you get the news when they make Twitter posts like this/coaches or admins tell you? Or both? Or no news is good news/bad news?

Not sure if players treat this like a commitment announcement or just assume they’re coming back until they’re not.
It’s a case by case basis. Generally we’re only involved if we need to be.

Probably not something you can answer on a public forum... but when you need to be involved, does the player approach you? I'm assuming coaches can't be like, hey Blum, this kid needs a bag (lol).

Big fan of all that you do for Iowa State (except maybe those Amish benches) :D
 
I’m hopeful to see more of these type of announcements with you all’s help! All contributions (either through the Collective or the We Will Club) up to $300,000 will be matched by a donor from now until the end of the year. Wewillcollective.com or Venmo @wewillclub
Well crap… Venmo made it too easy. Have some of my money!

Maybe you can't say but obviously other schools are actively recruiting current ISU players so i assume our collective and ISU staff must also actively "recruit" our players as well to retain them.
But how do you know what offers they are getting if they don't announce it.
 
Made another single donation to support the $300/600K in initiative. Going to ask my family to gift me an ongoing donation for XMas. How do you do it get the premium membership with it. Can’t find details on either site. Thanks!

I was thinking about an additional contribution (did one today) by asking for some X-mas money, then use that to donate to WeWill.

Of course I will do my X-mas donation within the next few days, as it appears to be time sensitive.
 
Come on gunner, give up $50 of your X-mas money, or smokes, or whatever it is you do for that particular day in your secular life...

...And give it to your favorite charity, the We Will Collective. You know you want to.
 
How do you even fix it? The game is threatened by all this stuff being open ended and unlimited in scope. I've yet to talk to anyone who thinks this is good. But what could you do?

Reduce scholarship roster size even more (say, 70) and limit NIL to scholarship athletes at a capped number for half the roster ($5M for 35 players) to level the playing field at a price point all P5 teams could realistically afford? And even if you could get a majority of the players to agree that something like that was in the interest of the game, how would you get the biggest brands to agree to go along? Limit CFP participation to teams in compliance?

I’m already sponsoring two Sarah Mclachlan dogs, a sea turtle, a Namibian boy named Joseph, and Chris the homeless guy that sleeps in his piss every night on High St. in front of the entrance to Bodega.
