I want to start by saying that I respect what Ranger Rocket is doing, and that it is indeed nice to see a variety of items available. On the other hand, as a former employee of the University Bookstore (in the union) I have to say that the amount of money that goes to the university from linsencing is minimal. There is a lot of talk about the bookstore not doing anything for the university and such.
I just want to let you all know that the money that goes into the bookstore goes back to Bowling Green State University. In the past year programs have been implemented to provide scholarships to members of the community, to students who achieve well, and other such exciting things.
In addition to that they sponsor many events both public and private in some capacity. Many of the giveaways at games are a result of the bookstore.
I am not telling you not to support Ranger Rocket, but perhaps it is worth considering when you are making a decision about where to buy your apperal.
Just some food for thought!
If the University Bookstore provides a better quality product, I will buy from it. If Ranger Rocket does, I will buy from him. Capitalism at it's purest! Viva la Rand!
