Pollard on Cyclone Club Level Changes
- Thread starter nfrine
- Start date
They are already performing above donation levels. We aren’t 10th in everything. When does the other shoe drop?
Absolutely, but we just won a NY6 bowl trailing most of D1. What will it take to move the needle significantly? Chicken and the egg, tough to have a statement season without resources to compete.
It seems most benefits are tied directly to seating....I agree with this post to find more ways to incentivise or have other benefits (or chances for things)
The referral program....my first thought was pyramid scheme, lol. "cyclone athletics energy drinks, essential oils, and dietary supplements"
Donor Recognition - Cyclone Club
Each year, financial support from faithful Cyclone Club members helps our student-athletes achieve peak performance in the classroom and on the field.

This is interesting as well: The Clyde Williams Society.
Seating and parking/tailgating. Is there an RV parking/tailgating option other than Captains-level donor and above?
Yes. PPL can park RV’s in general lots and Vet Med. Non-Donors can also utilize the Haunted Forest RV Lot as well.
The items are not from Cyclone Club but from the Foundation and Alumni
Were the flags/banners from the past from CC?
We don’t even get the windshield sticker or key tab any longer. We have to look at the brochure of benefits online. They could mail that.

But inputs are also hitting highs. Landowners see high commodity prices and want higher rents. The active ingredient of Roundup has gone from $7 to $24 per gallon on an equivalent gallon basis. Equipment and parts are hard to get. Etc
Was going back and forth with the athletic department the other day..
My seats are in Section C ($100 donation level) but I was at the $750 level. I like my seats so I asked if I want to retain them, can I get away with the $100 donation. The answer was yes.
I was told that they anticipate everyone who is at the States level ($300) will be able to secure parking in the paved lots for the upcoming year.
I suppose its a win/win for me. I can donate less, keep my seats, and gain access to paved parking. FWIW I was at the Cardinal level last year.

If you love the Cyclones why would you lower your donation amount? That donation supports all sports.
Turns out when you buy a house and remodel it and have a new born baby, you have to cut back in some spots.
Who woulda thought huh?
I could just not support them at all and not buy tickets or donate?
You probably would love to find a cure to cancer so why don't you donate to cancer resarch?
Donate the baby to the athletic department as tribute, if you love the Cyclones that is.
If I keep my donation at $500 vs going down to $300 does that provide me any advantage? I’m likely going to be taking over the donation portion fully by myself this year and trying to find the balance for my budget. I should have enough to maintain the $500 but it is pushing my budget. If I get no real advantage at staying there I might just go down to $300 and try and consistently build it back up past the $500 in a few years. I think that method will actually help me to give more long term just not short term.
I believe you get 2 additional priority points for donating $200 more over the States $300 amount. To answer your question there is no real benefit in donating $500 instead of $300 except that you love the Cyclones!
