I've never been more confused when using the TAF site. I logged in to renew my football tickets, but wanted to see if i paid my TAF membership. Now if you try to login on the taf website it sends you to the LSU sports website. The membership levels don't seem clear, i can't even tell if i still get 3 pts for my 100-dollar annual membership.

Not to mention i don't understand how TAF and the NIL collective work together.

Maybe im an idiot, but I feel like this backs up the rumors that LSU has really dropped the ball in the NIL era.

Well, for starters, they don’t work together.

Nah maybe we just have unintelligent fans. Is it LSU’s job to explain it to you like a 5 year old?

Upcoming football recruiting class, baseball and womens hoops having big success getting stars to come here, and having a documentary about our school's approach to NIL coming out all seem to suggest otherwise. NIL is fine.

Actually, yeah it is. Especially when the state is filled with mouth breathers who are lucky to function at 5yr old levels. For any business, having things as easy to understand as possible is a benefit.

It’s my understanding the $100 donation doesn’t earn 3 points any more. I called a couple of years ago for them to explain everything and what advantage is it for me to continue with that donation. I had a little better understanding but my head was still spinning. I’m still donating the $100 along with the seat donation.

Your TAF money? Why does TAF need to explain NIL to you? They are not associated with each other & TAF does nothing NIL related

Stop being a douche. The person is simply asking for some help.

There are too many douche posts in here. Man just asked for thoughts and suggestions. Your sarcasm isn't unique or original. And it added zero value to the post.

Actually I don’t see 1 question asked in the OP.

I informed OP that TAF & NIL are not related and do not work together?

Just saying they don’t work together would have sufficed. It wouldn’t have explained anything, but it would have been accurate information and sufficiently useful

Going after the guy personally for no reason behind an anonymous username is just weak

That dude has been registered here since 2006. You have been registered here for 7 months. Stay in your lane or take this nonsense to the SEC rant

Ok man, jeez are you are the management team and taking this personally?

TAF used to be the primary vehicle to support LSU sports, now that NIL exist, i have no idea the best way to support LSU sports. The TAF website seemingly being more confusing and even having dead links like on planned giving makes it even worse. I think its more of an LSU problem than anything else.

I just wanted to find out if there are other people who were having similar experiences.

You’re right, I’ve only been an LSU fan for 7 months. I guess i’m not allowed to share my opinion on the matter
