There's no way that should be a tax write off. It's one of the most ridiculous things I've seen with nil. A&M still doesn't do it bc it's bs to.
Didn't realize that's what you were talking about. I figured it was just the general shit ton of money he dumps into Oregon. It probably is a tax write off though because you know, reasons.

I was just talking about the money shelled out didn't get you shit but tOSU is a really good team and has been for a long time. Hard to play catch up that quickly.

But a bunch of schools are doing it. Texass was one of the first with LSU right there.
Yeah, after some preliminary research, looks like some have been trying to get away with it, but IRS has been cracking down with BPS Foundation being the first to get shuttered after a state and federal regulator investigation.

Wild west still wild for now, but betting if people are claiming these as "donations" that is going to catch up with them quick. To be a charitable tax-exempt organization, you cannot provide "private benefits" which is 100% what NIL money to athletes are.

Texas One Fund appears to be trying to circumvent it by still doing a fraction of their shit with charity to muddy the waters, but I don't see that lasting long.

I mean, he's been spending big cash at Oregon for quite some time. It's also kind of hard to argue that Oregon isn't a good team given their performance over the last ten years, they just aren't an established program like the ones they're competing against.

Pisses me off they scored bwfore half there.
That better light a fire under these guys. Buckeyes need to keep the foot on the throttle.

He been shelling out for decades
They haven't gotten a championship but they have gotten a helluva lot of wins and been knocking on the top 5 since they lost to cam newton like 15 years ago or whatever
They will never get a championship until they become more physical in all the trenches, they are almost always beatable there\

The Oregon sports programs are a hobby for the old feller

Fuck that.
If the Buckeyes don't outscore the Ducks by 26 or more in the 2nd half I will look at this as a failure.

No mercy.

You really want them risking injury if they're going to have more games? I'd be putting in the backups. Nice and safe.

He's been shelling out for infrastructure mainly. These last few years he's started doing what he's allowed to do by paying players. Cool I don't blame him but I'm going to laugh when this sort of thing happens especially the of a guy with no moral high ground.
