24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days each year TSCSPORTS.com sneaks into your home and your office (we won't tell your boss)... We spend quite a bit of time updating the site daily with GSU and SoCon related links and provide this forum for everyone to enjoy.
This is your opportunity for each of you to provide us with a little bit of reciprocation, and is also an opportunity for you to demonstrate you value what we do and what we provide the casual and diehard Eagle fan.
Now in our tenth year of operation, we have made some minor adjustments to our donor structure and benefits, in order to continue providing value to our subscribers while maintaining our ability to raise funds to offset site expenses.
For our tenth season, we are proud to unveil several new features, including updated messageboard software, and a complete archive of every single football game since football was restarted, to include game stories, box scores and photographs.
We have returned to serving banner advertisements on specific boards, while removing advertising service from all donor levels. While the site has experienced an increase in the number of subscribers, this has not been proportional to the number of pages served over the past two years. Since leaving the Rivals.com network in April of 2002, TSCSPORTS.com has surpassed 130 million ‘hits’, and future growth dictates the need for additional revenue streams.
Beginning September 1st, 2007 , site users who wish to have an ad-free visit experience, may elect to donate $15.00 annually to eliminate the ads. Donors will additionally be awarded a “TSC Supporter” tag along with their username, coupled with the ability to add a user avatar of their choice.
Donors who contribute $35 and above, will be awarded a “TSC Donor” tag, as well as user avatar support. Additionally, TSC Donors will receive access to the Eagles’ Nest, which is the repository for our complete recruiting coverage and inside Eagle information, as well as access to our photo and game archives.
Donors contributing $50 and above, will also be awarded a “TSC Gold Donor” tag, avatar support, Eagles’ Nest access, photo and game archives, and a copy of our annual CD with game photos, game stats and multimedia (screensavers, audio, etc.)
Donations run on an annual basis, from August to August each year. Annual renewals commence in August, with reduced partial subscription rates available each January, in time for the recruiting season.
We will be adding new donor tags for 2007, and removing the old tags as we update the donor rolls.
We are not a registered non-profit, however we are not in this to make money ... we simply want to be able to recover and meet our expenses. Any contributions of any amount are welcome AND appreciated. Additionally, we have continued to upgrade our photographic equipment and we look forward to adding to the most complete GSU game photo archive available on the Internet.

All donations are directly deposited to our account to pay off such things as bandwidth, our web storage space, and database, in addition to the items listed above ....as the site continues to grow in popularity, so do the expenses..
We will continue to provide photo galleries, archives and audio interviews as they become available. The passwords to the multimedia will be posted in the Eagles’ Nest. As mentioned above, our unparalleled coverage for Eagle recruiting will continue to be posted only in the Eagles’ Nest.
