I'm probably going to end up donating instead of using my funds for next year but I might hold off to see if the ESPN streaming works without any hitches before I do that.

I have not seen this e mail (found on UAlbanysports.com) ... however no surprise ... I was surprise no one had asked me for my annual donation much earlier then this ... recently reached the conclusion .... no fans in the stands likely until early April 2021 (if then).....this just seals what I was thinking about fans in the stands ....not going to happen ...however UAlbany Administrators still want our dollars

People donate where they want to donate but I find this ask a bit insensitive given what’s going on.  My opinion if the school is going to have a fundraiser like this they should be directing our donations elsewhere.  
 

Normal times we all obviously “donate” some of our funds here even when there are greater needs but it just feels off to me at this time.

I find this virtual seat promotion INSULTING! I have been trying for the better part of 3 months to purchase my seats and make my priority GDAC donation; with the full knowledge there would be probably not be a season. I accepted the roll over option when lacrosse was canceled, ordered my football tickets this summer on faith and made my gold GDAC donation {the gdac was debited, the tickets money was escrowed.} Perfectly willing to do the same thing for basketball. Attached is part of my ongoing correspondence with Nate Mason and have now also copied Justin Brown.

Nate,

It has been almost 2 months and the new ticket portal and GDAC donation site is still not available. Now I see a "Virtual Seat" promotion. I have been locked out of "my account" since September and now I am asked to participate in a GDAC promotion on faith. I am more than glad to order my ACTUAL season tickets and make my GDAC season ticket priority donation, even knowing full well there may not be a season {just like I have done for football & lacrosse.} I have NO interest in this virtual seat promotion; but am more than happy to show my faith and support of the University by purchasing my usual seats and making at least my usual donation, WHETHER I am able to use my seats or not. Quite frankly, I find this virtual promotion insulting when I am still locked out of "my account' and unable to support the University in my customary manner.

I have almost the exact experience as dslyank--calls, e-mails with the only response "we are making a change soon" but it never happens only Will Brown at Niagara??
