    Re: Tech 8000 Club

    Who are you having put this site together. Let's make it as professional as possible. I love the left side that has some of Tech's proudest moments and athletes. The site should be very nostalgic. How long till this site is up and running. Im ready to have a direct deposit into this fund every month. That should also be available. Breaking it up into monthly installments makes it very easy to donate. $500 seems to much for those who graduated from college but $42 a month as compared to paying yearly makes it easier for those of us with tight budgets!

    I am doing most of the work on it myself. I will have to pay a programmer a little bit for some of the more complicated stuff. It should be up and running in about two weeks.

    Truly amazing how an unpaid Louisiana Tech alumni/fan can put this awesome site together on their own time and JOakes has been in his position for 12 years and not so much of a posterboard illustration of a plan. Great job on the site and I am in for $500.00 as well. See that was not hard Jim now was it?

    For about the 5000th time, if you want the NCAA all over TECH, just start something like this without the approval of TECH.
    I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?

    Re: Tech 8000 Club

    Finally, a place to put some money into TECH atletics that is not controlled by JO. I am in, but would like some clarification on why this is ok and this same concept as discussed on this board on numerous threads was a violation of NCAA rules. I am more than happy to give $500 a year, but will not do so to CHAMPS unless there is clear control by this board on where the money will be spent. If I am understanding this correctly, it will be as if a single contributor, in this case - BB&B, will be giving a $4 million dollar contribution. Does this make it ok with the NCAA? Please explain and then tell me where to send the check?

    Since you don't know what you are talking about and you obviously haven't been keeping up with my other threads concerning this I will try to respond withouot any sarcasm.

    This is a pledge drive, No money will be collected until the goal has been reached and then all of it will be turned over to CHAMPS. And explain this to me if the NCAA disapproves of this why have JO and Jimmy Hand both told me I have their support in this effort. Or is it that you just came in and saw somebody doing something positive and rather than supporting it you decided to criticize?

    Sorry It came out anyway.

    Because we are not asking for the money only a pledge to give if we reach our goal. The reason it is OK is because all of the money will be given to CHAMPS. As far as the control of what it is used for I have already been told by JO that if we are able to raise the money in addition to what is already donated to CHAMPS then he would have no problem putting it towards those upgrades. I posted his email on here where he confirmed that a few weeks ago.

    Cordell,

    post this in all sections. I see names in the Lady Techsters section that I never see anywhere else. I rarely visit some sections on this board.

    Also, maybe the admins can put it as a sticky once the site is up and running.

    I want to get it up and running before I post it in every section. I just wanted to keep everybody updated on what I was doing.

    My sentiments exactly...we need to stop being dealers of doom and get behind this project.

    You might hire some students who build web sites to get the job done. You would probably get more for your money. An alternate approach would be to get some of the macromedia products and do it yourself. The software isn't that hard to learn and has a lot of powerful tools.

    Just an update, we are up to $13,800 in pledges so far. I am planning on having the website completed in about two weeks. Stay tuned.
