While many plans in place right now are first-rate, there are several alterations that can make the organization much better. Reid's platform reflects innovations that will make sure CAA works better and more efficiently.
The most obvious of these changes is Reid's two-part method for bracelet distribution. Rather than having students make their way to the Smith Center on Tuesday through Thursday of distribution week, Reid's plan will have bracelets available for students from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Pit from Monday to Thursday of that week. By doing this, he will allow more students to get bracelets if they want them.
Clearly, this allows greater accessibility for UNC students and will increase fan support throughout the season.
The second part of his two-part basketball distribution plan works just as well. Cheating will be eliminated by using a master list of students from the Registrar's Office.
When students arrive to get a bracelet, they will show their UNC ONE Card to the person distributing bracelets. Upon doing this, they will have their names marked off the list, which will not allow them to obtain another bracelet.
This will also allow us to reveal the bracelet number before Saturday morning. While this will provide more work for those in CAA, the overall outcome will be in the best interests of the entire student body.
Reid is putting yet another twist on ticket distribution that will increase the chance students have of obtaining riser tickets.
Currently, riser tickets are given to the same students for each of the games in a distribution block. Reid's plan would allow for more students to obtain riser seats by giving riser tickets out a single game at a time during a distribution.
For example, if the distribution block was Wake Forest University, the University of Maryland and the University of Virginia, certain students would get riser tickets for Wake, others would obtain them for Maryland and still others would get them for Virginia. This would allow three different sets of students to have riser seats and will let more students experience them.
