Your school could use a little help on the academic side though.

Says who? We led the state in donations last year on that side.

On the academic side?

If I were your fiduciary, I'd recommend that you stop since it's obviously not making an impact.

Sir this is a Wendys.

Sounds like someone forget this is a sports board...and is coming to the realization that his schools shitty alumni is never going to scrounge enough cash compete in todays NIL landscape.

Mississippi State simply doesnt have enough alumni with "frick you money" to compete with big brother TSUN Ole Piss.

Bend over and take this prickly Reb Bear Land shark dick.

False. MSU alumni have been less impulsive about spending than OM alums, especially over dumb trends and changes which are actually ruining college football. MSU was the first school in the state to raise a billion dollars in a donation campaign. frick you money came last year on the scholarship and education side. MSU has a number of oil & gas donors who can change things in a hurry if ever inclined to do so.

Keyword here is "Can change" not "Is changing".

The "Bulldog Initiative" is a fricking joke right now and Ive seen zero enthuisiasm from Bulldog donors/fanbase to even attempt at competing with larger collectives.

Most Bulldog fans I know have a poor attitude about the whole thing and have no desire to pay players.

A lot have the same sentiment as the OP and try to act like they don't care anymore. Country working class alumni from the Delta and East MS just aren't going to give their money away to athletes, especially when most of them that I know aren't too fond of the black man in the first place.

Most of my family are MSU alumni, and all of them have that country hard arse blue collar attitude....and the only thing they are going to donate money to is their Church.

OM tends to have more spoiled white collar doctors, lawyers, businessmen that grew up with a silver spoon in their mouth...and are more inclined to donate money to something like a collective. I'll be the first to admit that OM has way more preppy douchebags than MSU....but the preppy douchebags have more money. Om has significantly more out of state students than MSU, and most of those kids come from money. Its been an obvious difference in our fanbases for years and its no mystery.

You know exactly what Im talking about.

Total research funding:
Mississippi State $303 million
Auburn $266 million


Mississippi State receives more research funding than all of the other universities in Mississippi combined.

Wrong. State recently finished raising a billion dollars in a capital campaign. Last year one alum gave $100 million to the academic side.

This never makes sense. So you are wanting to have butt sex with Bulldog fans?

Well, then again, you are a Reb. Probably wear red pants to the grove.
