What is the latest on baseball returning?

[Paladin91]

Is there a way to make Furman Athletic events CLPs?

If so Student engagement would surely go up

Agreed, should have a limit of one or two athletic events per year, but why not?

What is the current established and Administration approved limit on the number of CLP-crediting Drag Shows available to Furman students each year?

I believe he’s already discussed this, ad nauseum.

I imagine none. Scary that they even have CLP-crediting drag shows.

[youwouldno]

Can't get too upset about the drag CLP, every show they do at a university is one less they're free to do at an elementary school. And audiences motivated only by CLP tend to be disinterested anyway.

Still, there are a ton of ways CLP could be used in conjunction with sports, for instance by having certain games connected to education about an issue, or tied to a guest speaker, etc.

But my impression is that the academic bureaucracy considers CLP and sports a red line even if it's fully consistent with the underlying objectives. Probably not much the athletic dept can do.

Furman vs. VMI (Football Nov. 11th)

VMI will have zero fans (ok maybe 100 player parents), that leaves nearly 6,000 empty seats on the visiting side, can we please give away those tickets to fill that side of the stadium?
Just hand them out for this one game!
Greenville Country school kids K-12, police, firefighters, all medical personnel, teachers, church groups, support groups, all military, virtually any Greenville organization making positive impacts, etc. etc.............

Nope not at all. Hasn’t mentioned it in several months, maybe last year? Then all he said was there had been discussions so an update is definitely warranted.

[apaladin]

any status on WLAX facility upgrades?

thats funny, good one!

What is the next fundraising project for the basketball teams post timmons?

To go along with this, if we were to fill the stadium would it cost us more in taxes to announce 16,000 attendance instead of 10,000?

I assume it would, but this could be offset by the fact those people will pay for parking and certainly some concessions food/drink/Furman gear............

To do it for just this one game would be great Heck we could even setup a booth down there selling Furman Basketball tickets, some of those folks might purchase tickets for those events as well, some may even return if Furman is playing a home playoff football game

[FU Hoopla]

What is the next fundraising project for the basketball teams post timmons?

I believe the new practice facility, or do you mean even after that?

[FurmanFan23]

After that. I kinda group those two together

[FurmanFan23]

Although I would be curious to hear a update on fundraising for the practice facility

I’m no financial expert by any means, but I’m pretty sure you’re only get taxed on what money you bring in. To give the tickets away, might even be beneficial to the bottom line because you could write those off as donations and the value would reduce your taxable income.
