Kind of need a coach for that

Maybe I should ask this question in the "sticky" NIL thread. Exactly how are these contributions tax-deductible? Can a business also go directly to an athlete for an endorsement/commercial, or does the business have to work through Armchair Strategies?

I'm guessing the tax deduction is if the player is being paid to do something for a non profit. Not for sure though.

As far as the second question. A business could go directly to a player. Unless they are signed with armchair in which they might have some sort of exclusivity agreement. The benefit to going through armchair is they make sure all the NCAA side of the paperwork is done and done correctly because these have to be reported to remain eligible.

As far as the "what if they leave" thing. From what I've seen from things announced at other schools is there are general requirements that have to be met that would be nearly impossible if a player leaves. For instance, one I've seen requires the player to reside in a particular city, and be available for X appearances of the NILs choosing. This would make it pretty easy for the NIL to void if the player moved to another school. So while it can't be tied to athletic performance or attendance at a school, you can do it other ways.

XB is a good student and a local kid who improved over the course of the season. Happy for him to come back.

Absolutely improved and anyone that doesn't think he can/will contribute to a successful program here doesn't understand athletics.

He improved when he decided to drive in to the lane, which in my opinion is where he can make some noise. Getting to the basket. Don't fall in love with the three so much.

One other variable to consider:

As Student Employees get their one free transfer, the number will inevitably start to trend down in year 3 and 4.

There will still be the sit out a year transfers, but now a large number of the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores have used the free transfer and might not want to sit out a year.

While this year might remain at a high level, inevitably the number of transfers will settle into a more “new normal” level.

The grad transfer freebie should go away if the initial freebie has been used. But that wouldn’t benefit the P5’ers, so scratch that idea.

Makes sense. He told my daughter after the tourney in DFW that he was coming back "no matter what"

[shocks02]

I wonder what Kellen could do with Quincy.

[shockerfan]

If Ballard can stay healthy he will at least be a rim protector. Nothing wrong with that. He just never got to hit his stride.

[forevershockerfan]

Yes, keeping Mr. Ballard is a good idea.

Inter conference transfers shouldn’t be free either. It just encourages tampering.
