Campaigns in Higher Ed are primarily used as an advertising and marketing tool to boost donations above what they normally get thru fundraising efforts. Typically they list all donations prior to the new campaign from the end of the last one as being raised for that purpose.The last campaign ended in 2013.Hopefully all the remaining funding outlined yesterday can be raised in the next 3 years.

In a nutshell:

1) We are going to have the nicest campus arena in the SoCon at Timmons, it will seat 2,750, we are hoping to make sellouts a regular thing

2) There will be luxury boxes and tons of new amenities

3) 500 seats will be reserved for students every home game when they are on campus, student involvement will be the backbone of our homecourt advantage

4) We will also have one of the largest arenas in the SoCon at Bon Secours Wellness Arena, 15,000 seats

5) Any game we anticipate that we could draw 4,500+ we will schedule for downtown Greenville, our goal is to eventually host a big time P6 opponent there and fill it up

So basically we will play WC at the Well every year and thats it since no “name” team will play us there.

Hey here's an idea.. the SoCon Commish job is up for grabs. We need a person like AP to lead some real changes!

AP has SD's full endorsement for the position!

Even if we don't land a P6 to come play us we have more options than just Wofftard.

We can draw 4k+ easy against the likes of Belmont, Davidson, College of Charleston or a few other Mid-Majors.

Even a SoCon final Saturday game against Samford could bring in 4k+ as both teams will be going for the crown again most likely.

And don't forget about the Greenville Invitational.
