Here is my question: if the narrative now is that we should move on but can't afford it, why should we not do a Kickstarter campaign (or Gofundme or whatever) with funds needed to help cover the costs "of hiring a new coach or removing pastner if felt warranted by administration" The pledges are collected and sit there but are not a referendum on josh, it's just capital to support the administration in this regard and to allow them to make a decision based on its merits. If the administration keeps pastner that's fine and the money goes back to the people who pledged.

The idea is to alleviate financial pressure on the basketball program. The administration can't publicly do something like this, they can only go to huge boosters because of how bad it would look. But fans can do this, especially fans who want to support the program but may not want to contribute money lest it be seen as a sign of support for pastner.

Why is this a bad idea?

Because kickstater are stupid as hell and it looks tacky

So depend on the big boosters to bail us out and he admin to make a compromised decision?

1) start kickstarter to donate to the memphis airport

2) raise $1M and donate money to memphis airport

3) ??? Big 12 ??? pastner gone ???

Wrong
If he's for keeping Pastner after this season he IS the problem

Yes GoFundMe would be the place.

We aren't starting a new company or getting backing for a new idea to produce - not a Kickstarter.

Do one where people pledge money but don't have to Pay until the goal is Reached.

Gee this is a great clever idea no one on here has ever ever thought of before.
