We Will Collective contributor numbers

Messed around with some rough math over lunch today. Between ticket buying game attendees, engaged TV fans, eager Fanatics, and other pro-athletics alums, I bet we have about 100,000 people that would be potential donators (wild guess). If every one of them gave $100 a year, that would be $10MM. We aren’t there yet.

Realistically there’s probably 25,000 people right now that fit both of these criteria:
1) The means to donate $100 in a year
2) The desire/willingness to do so

The number could certainly grow. To hit Blum’s desired budget of $4-5MM, we need 40,000 people to donate an average of $9 a month. I think it’s possible to get there. We have very generous people donating much more than $100 a year that bring that average up. We need more people chipping in. I personally give $10 a month to WeWill. It fits my budget.

Things that cost $9:
- a 6 pack of beer
- one affordable bottle of wine
- two fancy coffees
- a fast food meal
- 3 gallons of gas

I’d encourage you to consider a recurring donation to WeWill.

I'd be curious to know the breakdown of WeWill contributions. I fear half, or more than half come from a handful of people. Getting 25,000-50,000 people to contribute $100 per year sounds great, but I'm not sure it's working that way. I'd guess less than 5,000 people have given $100 or more.

I'd also be curious to know how involved the AD is. Are they telling donors to stop giving money to the AD, and give to WeWill instead? Or split it and give some to WeWill and some to the AD?

ISU is a legendarily stingy fan base. But also crazy dedicated, especially when it comes to traveling to see the team. It's sort of weird that way.

There ought to be a way to tap into this. Just have to find the way to get those larger pools of Cyclone lovers to get into a habit to give a little in great moments, and convert them to regular givers over time.

I think a lot of fans, especially older ones, don't really know what NIL is, or WeWill or don't understand how big a deal it is. Is that 50% of the fans? 25%? I don't know. Need to keep spreading the word.

In the new Big 12, the only team I'd say has a bigger/better fan base is BYU. KSU, Utah and maybe Arizona might be on the same level as us? You're right that we can hopefully tap into that.

If we're honest with ourselves $100 in a year is nothing. That's like 27 cents a day, we can all afford that, the 40k season ticket holders (or however many people are actually buying them) can afford it. If you have a family of 4 or more you spend more than that going out to eat at a decent restaurant. People spend close to that much for their cell phone bill. A dollar can't get you as much these days but we all have to do our part and contribute what we think we can afford.

For me since I'm out of state and can't spend money on tickets I'm gonna spend more on nil. Think of the collective as a subscription service, ISU brings me higher highs than Netflix ever has.... also a lot of lows. But it's worth it! go clones

Great points. I’m also out of state, so I see WeWill as a small part of the way I can support from afar

SIAP but quick question on We Will Membership. Did I hear on one of the podcasts that there was a We Will Monthly donation that also includes premium Cyclone Fanatic perks? I'm currently a $10 per month Patreon Cyclone Fanatic member.
