Season ticket holders were emailed today about fund raising efforts. Here's the data in the email...
Walz said previously that he needs around a half million annually to consistently field Final Four caliber teams. Half that gets him to the Sweet 16 in many years, i.e., hosting first round games and through the first weekend.
His NIL guys have been working at this for several months as aggressively as any U of L sport I'm familiar with. They're obviously taking a grass roots approach. I suspect that the nonrevenue sports will have to take this approach for most of their money.
The money they're getting per donor is outstanding, but they're well short of their goals otherwise. I'm also guessing that now is a critical time to have these funds in hand. (Speaking of which, $30K of the 141K is committed but not received...)
