Fight back against Fresno State!
Our Demand: Wrestling be reinstated
immediately.
How we fight back: Overview
Step 1:
Create a website to gather a list of people that are
willing to back wrestling at Fresno State . The goal
will be to collect over 10,000 names, addresses and
e-mail addresses by the end of January. (See Details
below)
Note Step 2, 3 and 4 will start simultaneously.
Step 2:
Direct Donations. Fresno State Atheletics received 7.5
million dollars in private donations this year through
the
Bulldog Foundation (BDF). This accounts for about
1/3 of the total budget. One of the contributors is
Save Mart. We will ask Save Mart to support wrestling
at Fresno State . (Or our 10,000+ supporters will boycott
their store/product). Side note: Save Mart and Pepsi
each donated 40 million dollars each to build Save Mart
Center . Producers Dairy Foods donated 3 million. These
companies did not donate the big bucks so that consumers
will boycott them.
Step 3:
Advertisers: The advertisers come in two groups direct
and indirect. The direct advertisers pay Fresno State
for putting up signs at Save More Center , Bulldog Stadium,
Bulldog Diamond and Beiden Field. Indirect advertisers
buy adds on TV and radio for the Bulldog Football and
Volleyball games. Carls Jr. sponsored a kick the ball
through the uprights contest for $10,000. We will ask
all these advertisers for our support.
Step 4:
Political. Probably the least effective means of making
change, but combine with the other steps it my help
tip the scale. What is the position of Juan Arambula?
What can he do for us?
