The Wichita State athletic department is revising their Priority Point System used for allocatiing seating, parking and other benefits effective February 1, 2012.
In the past, the PPS mainly revolved around men's basketball. The revised system will be broadened to reward all season-ticketed sports.
The Current PPS:
Men's BB Ticket History
3 points for each year of current consecutive season ticket purchases or 2 points for each year of season tickets pruchases since 1972, whichever is greater plus a one-time 10 point bonus for ticker holders who purchased tickets prior to 1972.
SASO Donations
1 point for each $100 of SASO contribution since 1989
RRC Giving
1 point for each $100 donated to the Roundhouse Renaissance Campaign
The New Additions to the PPS:
Other Sports Ticket History
2 points per account for each year of season tickets purchased for Baseball, Softball, Volleyball and Women's Basketball beginning in FY 2004 (max of 2 points per sport per year with a max of 8 points per year).
All Season Ticket Bonus
2 points per account per year if tickets are purchased in every ticketed sport since FY 2004
Each One - Reach One SASO Referral
2 points per each new SASO member referral beginning FY 2011
Other Athletic Department Giving
1 point per each $250 of restricted giving donated to WSU-ICAA beginning in FY 2004 (i.e. Booster Clubs such as High Hoops, Match Club and Battery Club, Champion Club, All-American Club, Golf Tournaments, etc - only amount in excess of benefits received counted)
1 point per each $100 in unrestricted giving donated to WSU ICAA beginning in FY 2004
General University Giving
1 point per $5,000 donated to WSU beginning in FY 2004 (I probably would have been a little more generous here)
Athletic Endowed Scholarship
One time, 10 point bonus for establishing an Endowed Gift to WSU-ICAA
Athletic Planned Gift
One-time, 10 point bonus for including WSU-ICAA in your estate plan
Lifetime WSU Alumin Association Members
One-time, 5 point bonus for lifetime memership to WSU Alumni Association
WSU Letter Winners
One-time, 10 point bonus for being a Shocker Letter Winner
Quite a change. My initial reaction is that I generally like the changes. Provides incentive to support more than just men's basketball which I think is fair since most of the money is going into the same pot. Also kind of builds on Jim Schaus' stated goal of excellence for the entire athletic program.
