Personally, I am more interested in the FB program gaining new leadership to move the program upward than I am with any personal benefit like priority points. But that's just me.
Even donating 1-2 starbucks coffees worth would be fine. It doesn't have to be big.
Indeed, the coaching staff and administration are what makes us look foolish.
Did, they want us in the B1G, to be laughable doormats...

I think the main thing would be if 10000 people donated $1 for a total of $10,000 total that would speak higher than 10 people donating $10,000 each for $100,000 because it shows there is more people who care.
That is not an unreasonable position. That being said, if you donate $50 you are only out 0.5 PP's for 2016 (and 0.05 points in perpetuity), so not huge deal IMHO.
As someone that barely made it in to Blue Lot this year, I am definitely nervous about my PP's for next year.
My wife and I donated $100 figured what the hell. We already donate in the low four figures but at least someone's trying to do something. And if it doesn't work so what all the money goes to RU so it can only help. We get those donation figures up is the worst outcome. Don't understand why people are against this really. It's not like Flood's doing that well. Actually he's taking us down a dark road.
Stupid, as in your thread proclaiming that Rutgers would beat Michigan yesterday?
I think it'll be a lot easier. Last year we had a ton of opportunities for bonus points such as paying before 12/31 and buying student bowl tickets / donating to the military. Additionally, some people won't renew their tickets, and some will scrap parking because they think they won't get the lot they won't and/or cheaper to buy through the secondary market.
Chris -- Awesome? No. Awesome is seeing your name and your wife's name on the ribbon board at halftime because you give enough each year to a fund that helps qALL Rutgers athletes and programs. Giving $10 to a fund to fire a coach is mean-spirited and petty.
So, listen, big man. If you'd like to step outside and agree to write a check to your hate fund that equals what my wife and I give to the Big Ten Champions Fund, then maybe I'll match the $10 that has made your little life so much more meaningful. Otherwise, don't talk crap about who I am or how much I bleed for RU.
Rutgers is so poor it should also be deemed a charity case.
Big donor here guys..watch out we should bow down to him and kiss his feet. Your money is obviously being wasted..you should be upset with what the school is doing with it.
For me, it has nothing to do with hating on Flood. I dont think we can win long term with below avg recruiting running a pro style offense. Im just trying to provide the university the funds to allow us to be successful. If that means replacing Flood, fine. But we shouldn't avoid making moves just because we dont have the funds to do what is best for the program.
Nickel and dimeing i see.... This is about coverage.This is about change. Where else can you see a group of a few hundred people elicit a response from the HC and get media coverage? At the worst case rutgers gets a few thousand from this, at the best case somebody listens and says enough is enough.
Let the people speak.
Haha this will go through and we will wind up hiring Al Golden and be the biggest joke on the Internet.
I like collin brady's comment on there.
"My allowance from my mom is going to a good cause !"

You do realize that the gofundme page has already been set up to donate the money to Rutgers University. Neither the guy who set up the page, nor 5he gofundme website can change it now to redirect the money to a different charity.
If you want money from gofundme to go to Team LeGrand of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, you would need to set up a different gofundme page.
Before I sign off tonight - other things to do - just want to say Thanks ! You have created a means for little
folks to be heard. Well Done, Sir !
How is it mean spirited? This guy is clearly under performing in his job. We want someone who is going to field a competitive team. That isn't mean - that's calling a spade a spade.
Your silly, Al Golden is a clear upgrade over Fludd. If hiring Golden is a joke then sticking with Fludd is an even bigger joke.
Honestly, Flood's comments about the campaign prove absolutely everything this statement is about.
Rather than taking it at all seriously, at least on the level that 'wow people are mad', he dismissed it and truly proved his stubbornness.
THEN, his enormous ego presented in how he truly believes he has immunity. Literally flaunting his protection.
A great coach would have gone out and said, "You know what? Fans deserve to be mad, because we're not playing good football. But, I promise them, I'm going to try every single new thing I can, and work that much harder, to try and right the ship. Next week, we're going to try new things and we're going to become a better football team."
But no, HE MOCKS US. Nice guy, my a$$!

Petty? Says the guy who only donates to see his name on the ribbon board? Hmmm...
Terry Shea donated! He said he holds the worst record and does not want Coach Flood to beat his record!
Condescending was my first thought, it's clear that Fludd doesn't give a sh!t about fans that don't support him, he is all in for anyone that will help him continue collecting paychecks though.
He didn't even have to get as elaborate as you suggested, he could have simply said, "I understand the fanbase is frustrated, we are too. I promise you this team and this staff is working as hard as we can to win games and make this program one we can all be proud of ".
Instead he basically said, you're stuck with me so deal with it. I can't wait to listen to his farewell press conference.
100 donors and over $5,000 by tomorrow would be a great milestone.
ha, one of my faves so far, has been the kid who allocated his $1 allowance.

i was hoping to crack 5000 tonight...looks like it won't happen
maybe there is a big donor lurking out there that can get us there.

I just donated $100 - easy call for me, since I donate to the RU Foundation annually anyway, and an extra $100 is largely symbolic, which is what this whole thing is about. Oddly, it showed me as anonymous with no comment, but I had put in my username and the comment, "It's Time." I'm also assuming, since this is the RU Foundation, that this can be matched by my company.
Excellent point, RU#'s. -Didn't think of the matching company donation aspect of it. That could definitely be a big plus in terms of the overall dollar amount if that can come into play.
you are right, it is symbolic. But would be very nice if we could get 30000 people to part with 50 bucks. That would be a statement.
