Have You Contacted Development or a Ticket Rep About Retaining Flood?

[Knight Shift]

There is a lot of complaining here, which will not achieve change.
Booing a PSA is dumb and ineffective in my opinion.
The Fire Kyle Flood online petition will be ineffective.
Banner plane-don't bother.

In my opinion, the single most effective thing to do is to contact your ticket rep and copy someone in development with your threats to not renew--that's if your threats are real.

We've done the math here. My season tickets are $535, including the set donation. 5,000 season tickets at this level is $2,670,000. That's not pocket change. I would be willing to bet many people give another $500 to $5,000 in addition to their seat donation. At $500 average, that is another $2,500,000. That's over $5 million. I am guessing the average donation is higher.

Have you done it?

My rep contacted me last week about dropping by my tailgate to say hi. Haven't heard anything since. I'm not about to complain to her about Flood but would give an opinion if asked.

Yes. I had a long talk with someone from major gifts department

I'm on the fence. I am likely to drop my donation for reasons completely unrelated to Flood, so I don't want to make an empty thread.

I actually think this is pretty much correct. This is about the only way to really let the powers that be know that you arent going to renew before March (far too late). Although the time for this was a couple of weeks ago, not the day before the season ends.

I don't know about that, derleider. We were pretty sure they were going to pull the trigger until 2 days ago. If there is a groundswell of action in development and with the ticket reps, they might feel the pressure and it may cause a stir.

If we can't afford a banner plane, maybe we could fly a banner drone around Winants Hall?

LOL at early returns. All talk and no action on this board if early polls carry through.

Well its better late than never for sure, but its probably too late. Anyone who was sure RU would make the obvious move - well ill leave it at that.

That's because they're too busy patting themselves and others on the back over dropping tickets and stopping donations. Of course that'll make things even worse but to each his own. Do what you have to.

I have contacted both Hermann and Barchi.

Good.

I have informed Julie that if Flood is retained, I'll donate zero and have to seriously consider whether to retain my season ticket. You might want to ask the bigger fish, though.
