NIL

[Zeke]

You're still on the same train that made you look like a fool 13 years ago I see. 

The current OC is the only SEC level head coach we've had since joining the league.  The records before and after prove this. 

And before you jump in with the "it's his fault it tanked", "we had to fire him because LAWSUITS", or any of the other retardation originating from Jeff Long's cockholster, just understand that you are once again horribly wrong and were taken in by people who had something other than the program's best interests at heart. 

I was hoping you had seen the light and recovered from your BPDS.  Everyone deserves a shot at redemption. 

Keep digging.  You'll find reality, eventually.

Keep thrusting.  Eventually the goat will get off.

That kid will be fucked for the rest of his life.

so, nothing about the governor of arkansas signing a bill that eliminates taxes on any nil money?

retroactive to the first of the year, and it makes any revenue sharing or nil paid by the university (if/when it happens) not subject to foia requests.

It also makes those payments not subject to state income tax.

As a working man, that doesn't sit well.  

[DrMongoose]

I agree with Joe...

We continue to have a worthless state congress

If they are going to make the NIL income non-taxable, the only fair thing to do is make contributions deductible.  Or even better, give a tax credit for NIL donations. 

I'd much rather see some five star power forward get my taxes than any government entity.

[Natty_Ice]

That is a huge pile.  How much more special treatment do they need?  NIL has officially jumped the shark.

I'm with you, Doc.

Neither of your alternatives will ever happen.

Of course.

Surely that's just Arkansas state taxes, which would be a minor issue compared to federal taxes that they would still have to pay.

Clearly, the state legislature doesn't have the authority to exempt them from federal income taxes.

[SwahiliSteve]

Who sponsored the bill and what was the point? These kids are being paid millions and they don't want them to pay state income taxes off that? This rubs wrong

and then there's this. i think this is how players will be paid, as employees of private companies and not the schools. gets around a lot of legal and tax issues.

the University of Kentucky has become the first major program to convert its athletic department into a for-profit limited liability company

I wonder whether any of the athletes even need to be enrolled as students at that point.

why not? they are still students, just getting paid for a job by the llc. this gets around the tricky shit having them employed by the university itself.

the llc will be part of the athletic department, just putting the money part of it more in the hands of people who know how to run a business.
