Dear Ms. Cohen:

My offer is this: nothing.

Not even the $30.00 for parking in the E1 lot, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.

Sincerely,

"I don't like your kind of people. I don't like to see you come out to this clean country with your oily hair, dressed up in those old sweatpants, passing yourselves off as decent Husky fans. I'll do business with you, but the fact is that I despise your masquerade, the dishonest way you pose yourself. Yourself and your whole fucking website.

"Some people need play little games. You play yours. Let's just say that you'll pay me because it's in your interest to pay me. But I want your answer and the money by noon tomorrow. And one more thing. Don't you contact me again, ever. From now on, you deal with Jeff Bechtold."

WTF?

...No, I am unable to stay “All In” to support student athletes[/b]...

That’s some super passive aggressive shit right there!

I told someone its like being asked at the grocery store if you want to help starving children

Why no, no I don't want to help starving children

 

[El_K]

I called and busted some what sounded like an Asian kid's balls about how we were getting screwed and I wanted a full refund. I asked them about the endowment and tap into that. What si i called into my credit card compnay and reported it that way?
The kid had no answers, then I said I was busting his balls as he took the ball busting like champ. I did not go All In, I rolled both the Tyee and Tickets to 2021.

UPDATE

After I opted to just have things roll over, I get this email

Your Football Season Ticket Renewal Will Be Applied to 2021

Thank you for your continued support of Washington Football, and moving your 2020 football season ticket renewal to the 2021 season. We can't wait to gather again with you at the Greatest Setting in College Football.

Husky Athletics is facing the greatest financial challenge we have seen in our lifetime, and are going to need our incredible fan base to come alongside us and stay All In to help continue to carry on the positive momentum we have built together on Montlake.

The impact of COVID-19 on our budget remains unclear, but we could face losses up to $70 million. We will continue to implement cost-saving measures in an effort to mitigate financial deficits, however, we won’t be able to close the gap without you.

Your gift to The Huskies All In Fund earns you special benefits, including:
Double Priority Points - 2 Points per $100!
As well as:
100% Tax-Deductible Gifts
A Huskies All In Commemorative Dawg Tag
Recognition on the Huskies All In Donor Wall
And more Tyee Club Member Benefits

We understand these are troubling times and ask that you consider any support to stay All In with Husky Athletics. All gifts will make a difference![/i]

One last push fo you to forgo the money
That is TP, not MP, their problem!

Wow. You were nicer about it than I was:

Clerk: Would you like to donate $2 today to feed starving children?
Me: WHAT HAVE THOSE STARVING CHILDREN EVER DONE FOR ME????

 

[YellowSnow]

Donating the cost of the 2020 tickets isn’t an option for me. At the same time, as much as I want to say FO, give me a refund, I can’t bring myself to do it. I got to do a lot of cool shit in college because some other rich fucks opened up their check books. So I think UW can keep my money in the bank as a small token of my gratitude.

 

[NoWarningJustDawg]

...No, I am unable to stay “All In” to support student athletes[/b]...

That’s some super passive aggressive shit right there!

It's very much like typical passive aggressive charity campaign direct mailings.
Or when they call on the phone and I say no and they immediately launch into "MrJD, is $20 worth the life of a child??"

"Holy shit, $20? I've been paying waaaay more than that!

I 100% support you in this Rowboat, (I used to think that way too) but I hate it how UW has preyed upon our collective gratitude to keep supporting their insatiable need for cash to prop up their ever increasing expenditures.

That’s heartbreaking!

But they got nothing on Sarah’s ASPAC campaign.

Jen should’ve had a picture of a dirty, hungry Dubs II in the letter...she’d probably get more $.

 

[RaceBannon]

I can't watch the dog infomercials. Yes, Dubs would get way more cash

Sadly though UW is just like any other big time athletic dept in its insatiable need for cash.
