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?
No.

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.

UND's collective is going to need a lot of folks to kick in the $25 bucks a month to compete with some of these other schools.
I fear the truth of the matter is that UND does not have a large enough alumni base nor is there a significant enough corporate presence in Grand Forks, North Dakota to enable UND to compete whatsoever in the NIL game.
You didn't realize this NIL stuff is just to widen the gap between the bigs and the rest?

NIL and taxes from the receiver's POV:

So w-2s are issued to recipients of NIL funds, and the NIL collectives have to pay payroll taxes?
Could be 1099, but yes, taxable.

My top six
Mclaughlin/Berg/ Perron/James/Boisvert/Swanson
third shut down line Jammer/Wilkie/strinden
I'd rather a top nine (expected to score) and a grind.
DU had 11 guys with 30+ points; UND had 4.
The mindset needs to be more than "up one with 20 to play is good enough".

That's a legitimate critique:
Two near-equal talents, Blais would always play the younger, less experienced to see if it'll grow further.
Berry plays the older experienced (safe) option, see: Albrecht, Senden, Hain.

Not many kids in the student section the past couple years even remember those UND champions......
But as the more senior, mature members of fandom it's our jobs to provide history and perspective.
