Wait two months? What happened to striking when the fire is hot? I understand people maybe busy with other things and you want to present a good solid plan to Bras. But damn it shouldn't take two months to get this off the ground.

Not sure when the banquet is, but if it is late April, you guys should have something worked out by then to present to fans at the banquet.

They are willing to take the first steps and set up some meetings. This post was basically to get some ideas going and see if there were interest. I think we got some good ideas and clearly people are willing to donate. We can let this thread die for now and let those guys work it over the next two months. By the end of the semester we should have another thread started with updates and a more solid plan/foundation. I feel really good about these guys leading the effort and it looks like...

My daughter has played hoops for over 6 years at a rec center less than 10 miles from CSUN. In all that time, the only poster or flyer for CSUN sports are the ones that I put up. I would estimate there are over 300 kids that play hoops there. The UCLA girls team did a clinic there once and the gym was packed. I think it would help if the teams reached out to the community a little bit more, not just wait for them to appear at the Matadome.

We need to get on the AD's ass to get it going or it will never happen. I will contribute.

guys,

through my public relations org on campus, i am going to do my best to make this a reality. a local PR firm that has come to present to us, including a CSUN grad, has had the idea to create a PR plan for the mens basketball program here at csun. over the summer we will be creating a strategy to maximize attendance at games, as well as raise awareness and spirit for the program on campus. we will begin our meetings later this month and work through the summer, with the goal of...

We have significant interest on this board to know we could raise hundreds of dollars on day 1 just by membership fee's. We got our strategy of basically directly asking coach what he wants for the program to see how we can help. I think KD and Oldschool and good front people to start this effort and I've called Alan Z to see if he can join them in getting this off the ground. If we can get Alan Z, Oldschool, whoever oldschool wants to bring with him, and KD to sit down with Coach...

Get this group going before the banquet. That way you have the people you are targeting.

Also make sure the SID office creates a link to the club, on the CSN website.

I'd pay the $50 in a heart beat for such a thing. it just means one less visit to olive garden a year for me.

Let's not get to into individual things to raise money for...I agree with TC and KD that we should ask Bras what he wants. Right now let's just find out what interest there is in such an organization, who'd be willing to pay atleast the $50 yearly fee, and see if Oldschool, KD, and goodhands can get a meeting with Erin/Bras to get the ball rolling on this. I assume this interest means you'd be willing to join and pay $50 a year to help the program Dylan? (very little doubt...

NCAA programs are allowed to go on a summer tour of Canada, Australia or Europe once every four years; CSUN last went in 2005, so they're eligible to do it again this summer. If Braswell is interested in another adventure like that (I'm sure Galick is pushing for it), maybe that could be part of a fundraising effort?

Ok so who is interested in this idea. What alumni/fans would be willing to shell out $50 a year to help this program ($25 for students). Let's see what kind of support we have here. I'm sure KD and oldschool are in as am I. Who else? Not that its a firm commitment...just seeing what kind of interest there is going forward.

LN is right about one thing, there has been lots of talk on this board. Actions do speak louder than words. M88 stepped up and made those cards. LN made those t shirts. I find it interesting that nobody else has replied on this thread about becoming a member or wanting to help set up the club.

Even if you're a recent graduate you can shell out $50 to help the program.

Oh, set up a Facebook and myspace account for the group. I would also think up another name...

Ok we have talked about such efforts in the past. But how about we try to strike the iron while the iron is hot. Have a membership fee of $25 a year (or other rates for people who can give more) and try to help raise money for the men's bball program (like the titan hoops club). I live in DC and wouldn't be able to really see any benefits and don't have much money but even I'd do what I can to help. Get the club as an official club with the CSUN Alumni Association....
