it is because they send a nice letter with a book asking for a donation. I get it, they are trying to up their game. Problem is, I have been donating for about 15 years now.
If you wonder why Seminole Boosters has issues...

Some book or some crap that came with it. It had to cost at least a dollar to send, plus the costs of printing. I guess I just don't understand why they would send items to people trying to get them to join Boosters, when they are already a booster.
I got that as well and I've been a booster for about 20 years. People must have complained, I got an apology email.
Oh a coupon for a back rub from Jam? I must not be on that booster level yet.
The future is in paper and direct mailing. The Boosters are trendsetters. From the group that brought you the Champions Club.
We did it that way when Bobby was here and it worked, why would we need to change now?
Maybe they could have selected alums visit potential members personally...nothing like direct contact. Gabrielle Reece should be on the traveling team to Texas.
I used to wonder why they had issues until I realized how many boosters were sensitive nancys, now I know why.
Well.....it is a waste of money to send expensive marketing materials to folks who already donate.
Jam is usually like a moth to a flame on these threads. Can't believe he's not here to white knight the boosters.
" I have friends I went to college with who say, “Aw, you should donate. Be a good alumnus.” And they wear shirts that say “School.” It’s like, look, if you’re an adult still giving money to your college, college is a $120,000 hooker and you are an idiot who fell in love with her. She’s not gonna do anything else for you. It’s done. In their letter, they were like, “Hey, it’s been a while since you’ve given us money.” I was like, “Hey, it’s been a while since you’ve housed and taught me.” I thought our transaction was over. I gave you $120,000 and you gave me a weird cinder-block room... and the first real heartbreak of my life...."

I will say that I always make a lesser gift than I could.....just a little pay-back for the horrible drop-add process I endured, and the palpable “don’t give a crap” attitudes of virtually every FSU staffer who worked at same. (Not unique to FSU, of course).
Would love to run into some of those bureaucrats. “How do you like me now?”
Maybe Legacy Golden Chiefs could get a visit from Mia Khalifa.
Took me a second realize that was a finger.
I’m still paying my student loans from 14 years ago. Can the boosters pay for that?
