ECU season tickets

I don’t wish to out anyone here that isn’t a member of YC, so I will ask these questions of the group as a whole.

1) What do you feel would be good incentives that would lead one to donate?

2) What do you feel would be good enticements to donate more than you already give?

For me, I see a lack of disparity among perks between levels. Ex. Maybe a 50% off coupon on coaches gear would get someone at the $250 level to give $500.

We don't have a medical school or law school.

And the state keeps blocking our attempts at those since majority of the Board of Governors are UNC alum. They are intentionally blocking our attempts to grow.

the UNC BOG does us no favors and they can kiss my ass. But boone is (hopefully) never going to have the infrastructure and population to support a med school.

I don't agree with this statement. Dartmouth has a medical school and Hanover is much smaller with less infrastructure than Boone. We already have an expanded nursing school and a hospital in Boone, a medical school would be an easy addition if the BOG would ever let us have one. Not sure how they continue to ignore the need of a medical school in the Western North Carolina mountains. At the least we should go for a dental school so we can help all those impoverished appalachian mountain kids with "mountain dew mouth". Since mountain dew originated in West Jefferson (I think) it would be only appropriate to put a dental school at App State to help fix all the poor teeth in the area.

I agree. It would have to be a smaller medical school, but I certainly think it could happen and would be beneficial.

My understanding is the state even denied the nursing school so we had to go in partnership with Wake Forest to even get it off the ground.

Law school could definitely happen in Boone.

Bottom line -- BOG screws App and anybody not named UNC Chapel Hill (and occasionally NC State).

Agree that it would be very beneficial to have both. If you look at the High Country, the nearest large hospital is like 1.5 hours away. If Campbell can develop a law school in Buies Creek so many years ago...we can support one. We have plenty of students doing pre medical and I assume many going the poly sci route. For law school, the human capital cost of having to pay legal counsel and phds (probably former lawyers) can be expensive. Similar to medical along with the additional capital to expand current medical center to accommodate....if App could pull this off...20 years from now it would help with politics within the UNC system as well as the wealthiest ones may give more to YC

I think the people who set the levels forget that for 90% of their alumni, nearly $1500 isn't chump change. However, the benefits for someone who donates $100 and someone who donates $1499 are the exact same (besides seating and parking selections for football games). Considering there aren't any bad seats in the place, and the cheapest lot has a bus that drops you off at one of the higher lots (Raley/Peacock), it's not much of an incentive to give any more than $100 if you're not just feeling philanthropic.

Those levels make more sense.
