Welcome to the 2024 game.
The rules are modified from 2017 and 2018 and 2019 and 2021 and 2022 and 2023. (We all want to forget 2020.)
- pick nine (9) forwards
- pick six (6) defensemen
- straight POINTS, not goals, POINTS (G + A) scored by your fifteen players in the four rounds to the Cup determines winner
- no more than five (5) players from a single NHL team on your team
Teams must be in before 5 pm Central Tuesday Apr 23. This allowance is because I was tardy to kick-off the game. Thanks to @sioux rube for the reminder.
I'll need help scoring the game. Thanks to everyone in advance.

I assume not sleeping for 2 days after the loss would indicate he wasn't satisfied...
I'd call it self-awareness of not meeting expectations (his, not outside).

109 of 308 on the Portal list are "Sr", meaning guys with a Covid year to burn. That's the last group with the extra (Covid) year.

Sic is there so often he has all the wall art and floor tile layout memorized.
Yeah, but you paid for it by all the time on the couch.

I’ve posted numerous times that Berry is too nice and that made him a awesome assist.
Hak too was the nice assistant but under "headmaster" Blais.
Hak's toughest transition (from asst to HC) was from nice guy to "headmaster". Hak made the transition after the Judy's incident*. Hak became a better coach after that. Judy's had Hak prepared for "Columbia lawnmower toss" (followed by a DUI) and strong enough to relieve a guy from the team which was hard but correct.
One could argue Jon Toews and TJ Oshie made Hak an NHL coach, but not by on-ice but by off-ice performance.
Berry could learn from that: you don't need be loved, just respected.
*not speculation; I know who was one of Hak's sensei at that time.-

Jeebus, are you sitting in a psychiatrist's lobby right now, staring at the wall art?
Lobby? No.
Office; waiting for the next patient to arrive to advise.

If I were Berry's sensei:
- end being the friend; time to be coach (and task master) first
- leave the 6/6 mindset; get to 9/3
- it's OK to win by 3 or more, winning by 1 is harder so make it easier on the teamAnd finally, grow them in the 'R' months, sort them in the 'Y' months, with focus on crescendo in the "H and L" months.
I forgot:
- the Blais predicate (two equal guys, play the younger to see if he'll develop further). -
True or False: The restaurant / food service industry is high churn.
-
If you're going to get caught betting on your team, at least let it be to win.

Not tax-deductible for business, but they can write it off as an expense, lowering income, lessening tax burden.
True, but I do wonder about (as Hoops brings up) the ROI.

Moore is from CT; Benoit is from NH; not surprised where they landed (the Q).
Emerson is from NY; thought he'd land better than 'mack. Or maybe that's a tell.

Depends on the sport. Also, Memphis isn't P5 to begin with, either.
If/when the great split happens, Memphis will be one of the very last to catch the lifeboat but likely will just the same.

We'll never know if "mattress Cam" or Grant "Nodak Insurance" Nelson made a difference, one way or the other.

Are donations to a collective tax deductible for a business?

Under NIL what SMU fans did for the "Pony Express" back in the day would be all legal.
Back then SMU Football got the NCAA "death penalty".

Right, for sure taxes are getting paid. I guess I was just wondering if Kunz was literally a "private employee" or, more likely, a 1099 independent contractor.
Either way, short of being a stakeholder in the transaction, we have no right to know the details of the private transaction unless the parties choose to disclose.

FedEx put out a press release about their contribution. They chose to disclose what they did.
Doesn't say who's getting what.

I will say this: If we are not willing or able to raise the funds needed to really compete in FCS football and at a mid-major level in basketball, maybe we should move back down to Division 2. And no, I am not being hyperbolic either.
Mandating 14 (FCS) or 16 (FBS) is intentionally fiscally predatory, separating bigs from not. NIL exacerbates that.This fiscal disparity will force the NCAA to relook at division membership, namely a play what you can afford model. And yes, that's the death of many Olympic type collegiate sports.

I just don't see the ROI to donating to the collective if you're a business in Grand Forks, ND.
Maaaaaaybe as part of an advertizing budget.

It would have to be looked at as strictly a "donation" (but with no tax benefit since the collective is for-profit) and not an actual investment.
I donate to UNDAA&F because it's organized as a North Dakota nonprofit corporation, is exempted from federal income tax liability by Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and qualifies as a public charity. <- tax write-off
A NIL collective is not a charity so no write-off.
