Like the site. Would Like MORE Women's volleyball coverage. Now tell me how much is 80% off of regular subscription. Not much of a deal if I dont know how much this is going to cost me.

Tim, I wanted to chime in with Dillon to mention that our launch of Talkin' Badgers daily allows us to add coverage for more things, including volleyball. If you're not already familiar with my coverage, I've been on the ground (ice?) covering the women's hockey team for well over a year, including travel to games away from Madison all the way to the national title game. I'm passionate about giving fans more places to get their fix of non-football, non-basketball content. We hope to earn your support!

Thanks so much for the kind words and thoughtful feedback — it truly means a lot. You’re not the first to mention women’s volleyball, and that very well could be a part of the next wave of buildout for BadgerNotes. I truly value input like this as we continue shaping the future of the site, so thank you for taking the time to share it.

As for the VIP subscription: full price is $53 per year, so with the 80% discount, it comes out to just $10.60 for the entire year. Hopefully that feels like a worthwhile investment in what we’re building here. Thanks again for being part of the community, grateful to have you with us.

I hit the '80% off subscription' button, and I was charged $53 for a year. How do I get the 80% off?

Hey! I just went in and double-checked, when you click the 80% off link, it should automatically apply the discount unless the box to use the promo code was manually unchecked. I’m really sorry if that happened on your end. Totally understand how frustrating that’d be.

Go ahead and shoot me an email to badgernotes@substack.com, I’m happy to send you back the difference in what you paid. Happy to have you on board.

I just left another paid Badger site bc of the constant bickering in the board to give this a shot with the annual deal. Excited to see great Badger content from the ground up. Will you be doing recruiting news/updates for FB and BB? Anyway, congrats!

I’ve been reading as a free subscriber since the beginning (I think?) and the discount offer has allowed me to sign up for a year of access. Thank you for what you do and I look forward to the future content you will provide!

Thanks so much, Jay — really appreciate that. I’m excited too, especially about what this next chapter could mean for the quality and depth of Wisconsin Badgers coverage we can provide. Feels like we’re just getting started, and I’m grateful to have people like you along for the ride.
