Just to be clear, I don't know, but I do think it will be a donation announcement, but #makeanimpact is not used only as an indication of donations. I'm not quite clear on what it means, but not solely donations

 Here's the Tweet in question from last month.

The alleged Big News is allegedly tied to Football only but could be connected to this tweet.

Cool Black Thursday video. However, didn’t move the big news hype meter for me.

GIVE 'EM HELL APPS!

I'll give the AD credit, they have a certain MO. That being make something that is barely worth a tweet into a "BIG ANNOUNCEMENT"

I can't see a picture of Kent Brockman and not think of this scene, which is one of my Top 10 Simpsons clips that does not feature one of the Simpsons. Thanks for indulging me on this off-topic post.

At least we know why they sent a teaser on Friday morning and waited to announce on Monday afternoon...they had to trim the hedges on many small villages

Doug Gillin follows me so maybe if we get a bunch of people voting for Halloween in the poll, they’ll reverse it?

I’m excited for Black Thursday. Definitely the right call re: which game gets the “Black” monicre. But MAN. What a let down. This athletic coms team is really out of touch. Maybe they’re still students?

I actually don't mind the general idea of Black Thursday if it weren't on Halloween. I wish they had made the Troy game Black Saturday and let this year's Halloween game be what it is.

Black Saturday as an away game would be pretty funny.
