Talking points to media.

We are running the ads because we have been voicing our concerns to the administration since [Redacted]'s hiring and the message has not been received. First ad ran today. Others will follow on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

We raised over $2,400 in less than 24 hrs. Over 100 people donated. Roughly 1,000 fans/alumni had input. Stats! Stats! Stats!

Wow. I actually think this is a really good idea. There should be a decent number of visiting fans for the tournament and a lot of them will snag a copy of the newspaper on their way to the stadium.
 
Is it $650/day if you do 4 days or do you get a bulk buy discount if you buy 4 days?
 
How do we contribute?

Not to be defeatist, but if you don't get enough for all four days, which days have the most hotel traffic? Friday, then Saturday, then Sunday in that order? I would think hotel traffic would correlate most directly with newspaper sales. And if Saturday is filled with Triangle teams plus Miami, I'm thinking you probably have a lot of folks driving over to GSO for the day and not staying in a hotel or picking up a paper.
 
I'm not sure about hotel traffic, that's a tough question I think because Duke and UNC fans aren't likely to have a room. I'd say Thursday or Friday first, but I bet a lot of people will read the sports page on the weekend if Duke/UNC are still in.
 
Now the News & Record, they might get dicked over credentials. Should've kept this off the boards.

Wouldn't it be best to have it in the papers on the day we play? Which, let's be real here, will only be Thursday. Would give the commentators something to talk about.

There would be a bulk discount. Sunday will be more than $650. They are going to run the numbers tomorrow for all four days. I had to pay them today to guarantee the ad would run Thursday.
 
I'd either set up a crowdtilt for this or just link a paypal account to the top post Stratt. This way people can donate now while it's fresh on their minds/when they first see the thread.
