Board NIL donation

As much as we might hate it, NIL is reality. The school wants to raise between 1.5 and 2 million in NIL funds to be in the upper half of CAA schools next season. Speedy is working hard retooling for next year, driving recruits around campus as I post this.

This board has some of the most passionate hofstra fans around. I'm going to post a match of 25k, with the hope you guys in total can also give 25k so we can donate 50k total. Even though that's barely 3% of their minimum goal, anything you can give would be appreciated.

Way to go cactus very generous but understand that some of us especially some older guys really don't have that kind of money to donate but I will give what I can. I'm already in for around 2K a year.

Thanks - understood that everyone's situation is different. Even a small donation gets us closer to the goal and would be incredibly appreciated. I'll be reaching out to people outside of the board as well.

Awesome way to go to lead the charge and lead by example which to me speaks volumes as you're not even an alumnus. Very impressive.

Do not be concerned one iota tc about the amount, all you can is all anyone can ask - the fact you are willing and an active supporter is huge - we need as many participators as we can get

Despite what some may believe, EVERY single dollar helps and HU needs ALL it can - every person can help make a difference at any amount

Think of all that is involved here, not just NIL, but staffers, equipment, recruiting, tech tools, fundraising efforts, HU gear, travel, etc etc - the list goes on and HU hoops needs everything in order to compete at the highest level to win conf ‘ships

Yes, we need the big tunas dropping $X million to really make things happen, but even $50k helps fund these things - and that we can do collectively at our level

I’ll jump in soon cactus, really appreciate your proactive commitment - kudos
