Yall can make of this what you want:
For years the football season renewal form had a very easy and convenient box to donate to the Band / PMC or both. It has been removed. I called the TMF and was told that they dropped it this year but we could call and " arrange " to donate.
Any guess how much the check from the TMF will be next season?

What is TMF

TMF Twelfth Man Foundation.
Suggest you contact either Association of Former Students or Office of Commandant to donate directly.

No good reason given for the change?

The reason for concern over this move is simple. It was very very easy for a renewing season ticket holder to simply check a box add in a couple of hundred bucks to the total and donate to the FTAB or PMC. NOW you have to make a separate call specifically to donate. The donations are going to plumet with this change. A key to any fundraising is to make it as simple as possible and idealy piggy back with a mass appeal like the TMF season ticket renewal form.

I agree completely!!! The easier we make it, the more likelihood of donations coming in! Did they give a good reason for changing this?

No. They simply told me that " we arent doing it this year".

I have asked 'someone who should know' to check into this, and will let you know what they find out........

That is pretty blatant... I want Jason Cook to answer this question and the march around vs march in. The Corps has been growing and been getting better grades. The FTAB has not traveled outside the state his football season, and That is unacceptable. Why is the Corps and the band being treated like 2nd class citizens.

The Corps march around came from the Commandant's office. They feel strongly that the March Around allowed for greater exposure of the Corps to folks who are not normally in Kyle at the time they march in. The Commandant plans to include this walk for at least one home game per year.
