From EliteDawgs:
I got a call from the Bulldog club today. They wanted me to change my donations from BI to SEF. He basically summed it up to be BI is more corporate sponsorship and SEF is more for the personal donor.
Is this correct?
I'm so confused now. Do I need to stop with the BI and move that over to the SEF like he suggested?

BI is their Grove Collective. SEF is now their revenue sharing fund that goes directly to their athletic department. Many confirmed that was the strategy in the replies.
This seems like a really risky move. I mean, State isn't going to gain ground on SEC budgets with personal donors. Their budget is 2-3x less than many SEC schools. Dumping capital into a holding account instead of the collective, which can be used upfront to buy players for this portal class, seems like a catastrophic move, but I guess I'm not an athletics administrator.
But, in Selmon/Lebby's defense, maybe getting the donations tax-deductible is the only way State can make any progress. Still seems like they're about to be buried.
