Can someone explain which is the best collective to donate to when it comes to attracting/retaining talented fball players? I would like to throw a little but want to go to the one that has a clearer path to players.

The boulevard collective website doesn’t list [deleted] on how they support or admin overhead fees

I don't know how many Collectives are at SMU. A while back, I joined ponysportsdtx as I don't have the coin to join The Boulevard Collective.
Now, I hear that The Boulevard minimum is 1000 dollars.
Expenses and fees???
I have met players that tell stories of how the money helped family.
Thank you for WANTING to help!

BUS is spot on...give what you can, when you can. There are several options, but ponysportsdtx is a great starting place, and is where I contribute too.

I had joined the PonySportsDTX Collective as well but have now joined the Boulevard Collective after watching this video. With the new rules coming following the House settlement there needs to be more monitoring of NIL deals. At one point I had heard Coach Lashlee say he had hoped for as many as 15,000 Mustang fans would join this Collective at the "Run with the Mustangs" level of $100/month. It will be interesting to see if SMU can continue competing with the much larger public schools that enjoy much larger student and alumni populations to supplement their own BMDs.

It may surprise some that there is a similar Collective for non-revenue sports. I donate monthly to Men's Swimming, Women's Swimming, & Diving.

Whatever your focus, including the Mustang Band for example, support what you can.

:D
