Thursday from 5 to 6.

Probably this is our preseason look at the team for whatever it will be worth. It is obviously geared towards students and that's great, though I will try to make it out there. Beats last year when there were no events at all.

I got wind of some sort of fund raiser for UNO Athletics at the Homer Hitt Center this afternoon. I heard this from a friend and have not received any emails or mailings on it. There is also nothing posted on the Athletics website. Anyone who's going and can tell me what it's all about? I did receive an email about renewing season tickets for basketball, which I've already done.

Thanks Bill. Obviously, I looked under the wrong events calendar. Hopefully, I can make the next one. They also should email everyone on their mailing list information on such events. I'm not sure who they sent emails out to. I'm on their mailing list, a season's ticket holder and a member of the Alumni Association. Didn't get one.

Is it against some type of NCAA rule to advertise these type of events on unoprivateers.com? I received emails from the athletic department for tickets and the golf tournament and I get emails from the UNO Alumni Association. However, I did not get anything about this event. The PAF should also have my email from the Golf Tournament. Keeping fund raising drives secret is not the way for them to be successful. Hopefully this won't be another drive that is semi launched and you never hear of again.

PAF...the best kept secret in town!

On a positive note - I did get my season tickets yesterday!

There wasn't much in terms of talent evaluation for the upcoming season. It was just intro of teams and HORSE and dunking competitions. I was hoping they'd scrimmage for a few minutes at least, but they did not. But it was a thing for the students, which is fine, and beats what they did last year, which was nothing.

Is this the PAF? Was this sponsored by PAF? Is the PAF name changing?

Good question. On the official web site, there are two links to donate. The old PAF link and the new Privateers15 at Privateers15

It appears the Privateers15 is an Alumni club.

Maybe I'm in the minority opinion here, but I don't think we can afford to have two fundraising booster clubs/foundations for athletics.

Is Privateers15 competing with the PAF for dollars? Are we asked to give to both? Where are the dollars raised by each organization going?

We are too small and too weak at the moment to have that kind of uncertainty and mixed message.

We need one message. One strong organization to raise funds. A clear mission and plan.

But no. We have two links to donate.
