wow, that is pathetic.

MSC Bookstore stepped in and stopped everything.
quote:The bookstore should have no say in this whatsoever. Is NFLO a "recognized student organization" with the Department of Student Activities? If so, all you would have to do is get Student Activities to sign off on your selling of the items. You can visit http://studentactivities.tamu.edu/concessions for more information. Basically, all you have to do is get Student Activities to sign off on the sale of the shirt, location, etc. Also, you will need Collegiate Licensing to sign off on the design/logos of the shirt. The last I remember is that you can only sell items 7 days a month, which shouldn't be a problem if you are only doing Gamedays. Sounds like someone is giving you the run-around. Also, since you are dealing with Student Activities, money from sales will need to be deposited in the NFLO's account at the SOFC.
MSC Bookstore stepped in and stopped everything.
quote:
The big question is, is this organization a student organization, or just some random Aggies organizing it. If you are not a student organization, you cannot sell anything on campus on a gameday as far as I know. This is probably not the MSC shutting you down, it is the university, because it is in their contract with Barnes and Noble and the MSC Bookstore. Selling things on campus on gamedays is way higher than the MSC Bookstore.
quote:This is wrong. There is no need to throw this organization under the bus without checking your facts. I have seen numerous other student groups selling items on gamedays. It has nothing to do with Class Councils. Also, fwiw, Class Councils is not affiliated with the MSC; it is a part of Student Activities.
Like I posted on the other thread, this problem does not lie with the bookstore. The people who have a problem with you selling shirts is the MSC Class Council, the organization that sells Maroon Out Shirts. Gameday is THEIR main selling day. You selling a shirt to light the Kyle Field letters competes with them, not the bookstore. They do not want you to sell in front of Koldus because that is where they sell. Whoever says they talked to the bookstore is wrong, they talked to the MSC Class Council.
quote:
Shirts can be purchased in one of three ways:
-IN PERSON
The weeks before home football games, daily sales will occur Tuesday - Friday outside of the John. J. Koldus building from 10am-3pm.
quote:First, any recognized student organization has the priviledge to sell stuff on campus should they go through the proper channels to do so. No one has "turf". Sure, Maroon Out may be in the same location as it works logistically for a large crowd that way, but that doesn't mean that another group couldn't sell shirts on the same block. Secondly, Maroon Out's price point and volume would blow this out of the water, and this would not really be "competition" for them.
The bookstore has nothing to do with this, I am telling you. Why would Maroon out want you selling on their turf?
Was student activities not housed in the MSC???
