For those who are UCATS or looking to become UCATS, the organization is going to restructure the amount of tickets you can buy per UCATS membership. It's not about more money like you'd think. However they're hoping that increased donations will be the case also. What is is about is growing the number of donors to the Athletic Dept from a number perspective.
Right now there are 3500 UCATS. This is a very small number of donors for a major university. It's low because there are UCATS accounts with a single membership buying 20+ tickets per member. I'll have more details later today (I hope) and everyone should expect some communication in the future regarding this.
It's looking preliminarily like they want to do 4 tickets per member. That's not concrete. That means if you are one UCATS member buying 8 tickets as I know someone on here does, in the future you'll be able to keep your group together, theoretically pay the same amount of money and UCATS will have 2 members on the rolls instead of 1. It's not to the degree of PSLs like the pros but it's a step in the right direction.
The perception of us as a national program needs to reflect the true number of donors we have if we want to look attractive down the road when/if realignment occurs.
