CAF spotted on my fb feed

and no, it didn't cost me $5.99...

Anyway, here's the text:

We’re challenging you and every alumni and fan to “Join The Team” with a membership to the Cougar Athletic Fund. And to join before the Cougar Countdown deadline, which is kickoff, Saturday, Oct. 3, against Cal. Your membership is crucial because it provides the scholarships and support needed to compete and win. The Cougar Countdown is on. The time is now. And it starts with you!

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! Great inclusive message.

The only frustration I have with this campaign is its apparently wide net. I'm already a CAF member, yet I've received several emails and several mailings asking me to "Join the Team." At least focus the effort, save the postage, and save the spam for those that aren't members.

Yeah I was confused by this. I'm already a CAF member and keep seeing ads which lead me to believe somehow I'm not being counted...

Two emails from CAF in one day: one "from" Moos and one "from" Gesser. This is approaching spam level proportions...

I came here to post the same thing... I know they're doing a push but it's getting spammy. That said, I just donated to the CAF today so maybe it's working?

I mentioned once that my other alma mater (UGA) was communicating with me through a variety of platforms fairly frequently while WSU was apparently waiting for donations to roll in. I was going to congratulate them for their newfound efforts, but I'm getting 5+ a week at this point and it's getting a bit irritating.

And another....

Seriously? This is now spam.

 

[chipdouglas]

Definitely spammy.

But I will add that I emailed the CAF today to complain that their website sucks and won't allow me to donate, and they called back in less than 5 minutes of getting the email. Really dug the fact that they're paying attention and that it's not some stupid central inbox that everyone ignores. A call was above and beyond.
