    Again, not to worry. The board admins will manage the donations. And these dudes are GIVERS, not takers.

    Re: All Sports Radio Sponsorship for 06-07 year

    Okay the radio sponsorship is $3,500.

    We can do that.

    Can we do more? Maybe. Lets look into it.

    What would a couple of billboards in Shreveport, Ruston and Monroe run? Put the Tech Home Football schedule on the boards.

    We have representatives from the Blue Crew on here. What would it cost to get some poster printed up with the BBall Schedule, etc? Can the Blue Crew ditribute them to local businesses and around campus?

    What would some 30 second and 60 second radio ads cost us in Monroe and Shreveport? Advertise the football games.

    Whatever we do, we probably need to discuss our ideas with JO. Not asking permission, but letting him know our intentions. He might have commercials, artwork, etc already laid out.

    We all complain about the marketing of the program, maybe we can do something about it.

    I am in! Got a good bonus this year.

    I think the way to go is the radio.

    I looked at placing an ad in the S'port times once and their prices for that piece of crap paper are high for what you get.

    Their prices were comparable to the DMN over here at one time. More bang for the buck with Radio. Besides our monsterous radio network covers basically the same range as the papers we would be advertising in, but with the radio broadcasts on the net, you will reach the far corners of the world.......

    Just think about the day when we can look at JO and Dr and proclaim... BBB and is a world wide enterprise baby...next stop gloabl domination... lol

    Radio is the way to go... my .02

    I too agree with radio first. But not only. The radio ia great idea except for the Shreveport market. 99.3FM is not available here and 107.5FM is only available sometimes at some places. (I can ponly get 107.5FM in one of my vehicals if at all. And never in my home.)

    Re: All Sports Radio Sponsorship for 06-07 year

    It is obvious most are on board with radio sponsorship for all-sports and I agree, it is the best option for bang for $$$.

    Secondly, I'd run some ads in the Tech Talk, it won't hurt and if you get students hooked now they certainly aren't going anywhere and hopefully we can help build fans and $$$$ to athletics. This is easy and pretty cheap to do.

    Third will be more difficult and costly- signage at all sporting events that have the website on it. www.latechbbb.com "for the die hard Tech fan" This will be hard to do but well worth it.

    Fourth, Sim did have a blank spot in left field wall, but these are pretty pricey, I believe $2,500 and as I understand it, it was taken but the guy never put the sign up so it might not be available. And not the best use of $2,500 IMO.

    I LOVE the special projects and favors we do the coaches by purchasing things JO won't or can't. This shows we really care and put our $$$ where our mouth is and do something to make things better for coaches and athletes. Please let's do more of these and try to work up a wish list from every coach of 2-3 things from each that we can shoot for in the next year, two years, etc.

    Ed, so if everyone renews their slots as network sponsors, aren't y'all bound to open up some other avenues for more radio revenues?

    Re: All Sports Radio Sponsorship for 06-07 year

    We have a regulated amount of time "for sale" on the local network...when we fill the numbers we can't get anymore...We have the "Tech Game Day" 2 hour show prior to football but that's just football not basketball and baseball...

    Now I think you're asking "isn't it possible to open more commercial air time if we're sold out"....we haven't done it in the past when we were sold out --we just put that sponsor in a position to have the first slot open the next year...
    Let me just say that if everyone wants the BBB sponsorship that I'll do everything I can to get them in...

    p.s.s. I'd love to get some of those iron on patches and place them on my blue shirts. Where do we get those done at?

    That is a shirt that I designed online for $5.00 if I order 256.

    Yes, I dropped the ball on this. Want an excuse? Kept running into dead ends and not getting answers. Had forgotten about it since. I'll get back on it next week and see if I can get you the pricing.

    Or make BBB a 501c(3)...Dwayne, how hard would this be to do and still be legit. I know that there has been gross exploitation of tax-exempts but I think that we could actually be in full compliance.

    Re: All Sports Radio Sponsorship for 06-07 year

    We looked into this a while back. Lots of reasons not to, but reason number one was that Tech Athletics (being our "charity") would have to sign off on it.

    Re: All Sports Radio Sponsorship for 06-07 year

    You can count me in on a contribution. Just tell me how and when. Also how gathering emails of Tech alumni for advertisment of BB&B. If each of us who know of just a few alumni who might not know about this site send an email advertising the site, then the numbers of supporters could grow quite nicely. Isn't there a directory that is put out every few years of Tech alumni? I don't know if it has emails in it but if it does, it would be a great place to find alumni to notify.
