there needs to be a better way to get the fund in front of people. for 1, bayou traditions does not sound like an NIL Collective (The Grove Collective is OM's and it's pretty clear). 2nd, the website makes it a tad difficult to find the specific fund when you're on mobile.

i noticed there's a livvy dunne fund. don't get me wrong, she has put a lot of attention on LSU with her NIL, but there needs to be a big fat font of 'LSU FOOTBALL FUND' that you can click and it immediately takes you to the donation page.

I had to surf to find it.

lots of fans on twitter are saying they have the same issue. one person made a great point that if every person in tiger stadium 102k gave $10/month, that'd be $12M a year.

Why not $25 a month? Seriously, $25 a month isn't shite nowadays but all 102k in Tiger Stadium doing that every month would be enormous and would immediately put LSU in position to damn near lead the way. $30,600,000 a year plus interest that LSU earns on it. Sweeten the pot by increasing priority points that donations to this cause would be worth. There's all sorts of things LSU could do to attract more donations.

But over $30,000,000 a year for football NIL deals just from small donors... could you imagine what this could be with larger donations? I'm sure a substantial portion of Tiger Stadium could afford to contribute $100 a month. I don't know what other schools' NIL collectives look like but an extra $30M for LSU would go a very long way in improving recruitment.

Or just tack on 20 bucks per ticket. 7 home games. That’s over 14 million.

The website sucks and is hard to navigate to set up recurring donations...

Out of curiosity, I went to the bayou traditions website for the first time.

I found a way to donate to LSU football in 3 seconds, 2 clicks

It's very easy on a desktop version. What's impossible, or at least as per my browsing, is setting up recurring donations. I have to remember to donate every month.

That's ridiculous. Do better, LSU.

you have to login to TAF, pledge to donate now pay later, enter the total amount you want to donate over 12 months so if you want to do $50 a month you would enter $600, click monthly and it will setup a recurring donation for 12 months. and if you hit calculate it will show you your payment plan...

That's the only way I could figure out how.

I've called and left two voicemails for them asking to be contacted about setting up recurring donations and have yet to get a call back.

Not a call, email, nothing.




Here I am, wanting to give them no-strings attached money, and they won't respond.

I'm seeing a lot of the larger LSU accounts on X finally talking about Bayou Traditions. Which is good.

If LSU tacked a $1 NIL "donation" onto every alcoholic drink sold in the stadium, they could fund the NIL for years.

4 points per $1,000 so the same as donating any other way.

lower ticket prices by $50 per ticket per game, and I'll give $50/month.

Exactly. Yet we can’t seem to get any help here or on the pay sites with increasing visibility and awareness.

Mind boggling.

We saw the movement with Folds of Honor.

Imagine an organized effort to help our football program on this site.
