ISU Men's Basketball Coach Bill Evans and ISU Athletic Director Jeff Tingey will be our guests on the ISU Coaches radio show tonight at 6:00 on 101.1 FM, KEIR, and on Stretch Internet
 
Interesting second half of the show with Jeff. Lots of good info about facilities.

-Locker rooms and restrooms are being built this spring at the softball stadium.

-New and bigger video board (13 x 40?) to be installed inside Holt, with announcement to be made next week.

-Gift has been received to replace bleachers in Davis Field, but need a major gift to replace track first.

-Multi-million donor is in place for arena, but still need a naming rights donor.

Good stuff.

I watch a lot of sports and shows, and one thing which is common on local productions is the asking of money. For example, if you flip the channels and catch a show like BYU Sports Nation, they always make mention as to how easy it is to join the Cougar Club, starting at just $5 a month. I caught a New Mexico State basketball game a few weeks back, and during a timeout the announcers made a pitch for it's booster club, including all of the graphics with info for viewers. Is there a reason why Jerry and Mark, for example, don't invite listeners to donate via the Boosters club or even the gifting link? Why not draw attention every time like most other school's broadcasts do?
 
JJB:

I can't speak for Jerry since often I can't hear his broadcasts because the women are playing at the same time but many times I will make a pitch for the ISU Fast Break Club which is the donation organization specifically for them.

As far as the athletic department in general I have never been given a 'reader' that I can use or should use during a game with info on where to send a donation, or who to send it to, or a phone number that someone can call.

I have a general idea of how someone can donate but nothing in detail that I can pass along to the listeners and this is something you probably don't want to guess at since often checks are in the envelop.
