I couldn’t find the monthly option. I donated $50 earlier this month, but would like to set up $25-$30 monthly.

I need to go back in and figure that out. It ain’t much, but I can spare it and to me there has to be 200k Tiger Fans out there as passionate as me who can afford similar or more.

I donate to TAF but not Bayou Traditions. I've always donated to TAF.

It will come out eventually that the money never made it to any player and Wilson embezzled it. It's hilarious that people actually donate to this like it's the fans responsibility

I don’t do any of my charitable contributions as a monthly deal. I contribute lump-sum whatever amount strike me as fair st the time.
Well you're in luck, Bayou traditions isn't a charitable organization.

You can cry technicalities all you want, Brian Kelly's match of $1 million to TAF is going to find its way to Bayou Traditions one way or another


What it will certainly do is generate more contribution to BT and potentially free up more resources for TAF to allocate to LSU Football/the collective. What I don’t know is can TAF “legally” fund the collective, or can they only use monies directly contributed to the collective for purposes of NIL. That question is posed outside the rev share piece that will be coming.

After you put the 12 month total amount into the Football Bayou Traditions option, scroll down to where it says "pledge now and pay later". Click submit.

Then go into your account and click "manage my giving" and you can then choose to spread it out over 12 months. It'll then break it down into monthly amounts and you can then pay the first monthly amount.

It shouldn't be that complicated but it is.

I posted this on the recruiting board in a random thread but this thread does so much better.

I’m sick and tired of hearing “Here’s how you donate” and “ Donate today” commercials, sports talk radio segments, and ads all over the place. I understand this is how the sausage is made. I get this is how we get recruits. I’m just ready to eliminate the collectives all together, allow the schools to sign these kids to contracts with buyouts, and be done with the farce that a good intentioned NIL has turned into.

This is like the 3rd or 4th thread you've started to say that you donated to bayou traditions. Do you really need validation from this board that bad? Do you lack attention in your real life?

He’s probably being paid by BT to drum up donations

I’ll be doing my taxes soon so as soon as I see how much state tax I paid this year I’ll report back.

The average LSU fan donating to pay any athlete play a sport at LSU is completely asinine and makes almost no difference. I will never ever give any dime for those athletes to play. The tv, tickets, merch and postseason plus super rich donors is plenty to compete and win at a rate similar to the last 2 1/2 decades.
