A new message from All Good Dawgs
Dear AGD Supporters,
In the summer of 2022, All Good Dawgs was established as a way to support Butler Athletics and Butler student-athletes by engaging with local non-profits during the most transformative era in the history of college athletics.
Our purpose-driven NIL collective became a way to support both Bulldogs and great causes. Your support of All Good Dawgs – and our Butler student-athletes – has been and continues to be impactful. Your generosity is genuinely appreciated.
As you hopefully have read in Grant Leiendecker’s recent message to the Butler community– From the AD: Playing Offense - Embracing the New Era of College Athletics—the House vs. NCAA settlement has been formally approved. With that comes the ability for universities to compensate student-athletes directly for use of their NIL through revenue sharing. We have anticipated this decision since the early days of All Good Dawgs and always viewed our organization as a necessary bridge to this new collegiate athletics model. The work of All Good Dawgs will now be absorbed under Butler Athletics; All Good Dawgs will phase out operations.
While AGD will phase out, we truly hope that your support of Butler student-athletes continues. For those of you with pledges to support AGD, Butler University will work with you to transition those gifts to Butler Athletics, where they will continue be used to support Bulldog student-athletes.
Your support of Butler Athletics and Butler student-athletes moving forward will be extremely impactful. Please connect with Grant, J Locklier, or Graham Honaker to discuss what your contribution can mean for Butler Athletics during this incredibly competitive and pivotal time.
We hope that you join us in celebrating what we were able to achieve through All Good Dawgs. Together, we were able to establish an organization to support Bulldogs and have a significant philanthropic and social impact in our community—we partnered with over a dozen non-profits—some multiple times! Your generosity and the tireless contributions of AGD founders and board members created an impactful partnership that other universities attempted to emulate. Bulldogs stepped up to support Bulldogs… and did it The Butler Way.
As Grant wrote earlier: “Butler will emphatically and aggressively embrace this new model, while also continuing to prioritize the holistic student-athlete experience and educational benefits that have long been a trademark of our university.”
Thank you for your generosity to date and for your future support of our university and our student-athletes. And as always, Go Dawgs!
