Then why did you set up your hypothetical as a student being paid by a foreign company through a foreign bank account? Can the same student get paid for the use of his NIL by a St. Charles realtor using his US Bank account, for example? The answer is that its complicated and immigration has never weighed in on NIL other than to acknowledge that it was a thing.

Not if the student-athlete is physically present in the United States, no. The location of the transaction, employer is irrelevant. Pay them in the off season when they return to Melbourne.

Florida Atlantic was paying the last coach about 50% of what Shertz is going to make at SLU.

Fund raise, fund raise, fund raise, can the new President raise money? And give a good speech on occasion?

That took surprisingly little time to become an organized, alumni-driven enterprise. But historically, people have been predicting the demise of college sports since as long as have had them.

Default in this case means by proclamation of the local newspapers. SLU was also proclaimed to be the state champions that season.

A Sweet 16 match-up and an opportunity for both schools to make history. For those interested in a good game, this one is Tuesday at 6:00 pm. No paywall. https://glvcsn.com/uindy/

Well, Loyola officially sucks again. Have to wait another few generations. And Blers fans were convinced they would lose Valentine. I disagree with the use of the Blers moniker. I do not like it. But I am surprised Stu Durando and others are acting like they have never heard of it. Blers has been a thing since 2018, but I am thinking 2016. I thought Durando covered Arch Madness… Or is that just a way for them to say that they care so little about Loyola, they didn’t even know?

Pickle ball is awesome, try it. Playing it, not watching it.

UMSL was loaded with 5th year guys last season. In terms of playing time, they are almost an entirely new team. SLU by how ever many points they wish to score.

This guess is incorrect. All the major programs were trying to work out what to do with the month-old rule changes, including practicing the forward pass and the onside kick. The new rules also prohibited tripping and SLU could have also been the first team not to trip the opposing team.

Every program had the forward pass in 1906 including Michigan, Southern Illinois, Washington University and more. SLU happened to have one of the first college football games of the preseason and the rest is history. That is the only distinction.

Among other strategies... Spellman was the president of Tarkio College when it got shut down after conducting financial aid fraud for many years and had to pay back millions.

And people have a long weekend of NCAA basketball ahead. I know it is not the NCAA, but I love the NIT. I do. But I also love the Missouri Valley so feel free to ignore. This should be a great game though.

Indeed, Christian is out after three seasons including two that overlapped with Covid-19. That is harsh. The conventional wisdom is that makes the job less desirable, but maybe they have a plan.

Is it just me or is the Billikens as a mid-major trying to reach the College Cup a weird way to frame the Post Dispatch story? I know most of the Billikens best seasons happened long ago, but it seems crazy to think of SLU Men’s Soccer as a mid-major program. Not that it matters… There was reporting yesterday that the Washington coach stated that SLU has not seen a team as talented as the Huskies. That they were Duke but with far better defense.

I think he could have, but Twitter is not conducive to long, nuanced thoughts as we know. I just think we need to read Tweets with a grain of salt, even when the person Tweeting is a journalist.

I think you guys are reading too much in to that Tweet. He could have pointed out that it is perfectly reasonable for SLU to expect a 1-1 or 2-2 or 1-2 with two in St. Louis, given the state of the programs, but Twitter has a character limit. Also, go look at the forums and clearly no one dislikes Mizzou basketball like Mizzou fans.

@courtside Your posts are so good that I feel like I should be paying you to read them. As long as you are posting, I have nothing to add, but I'll say this: for the casual fan who usually goes to a few games because you love supporting SLU, it is definitely time to get back to campus for a game. It may be that I was overly excited to watch my first in-person game since 2019, but that was a great game. SLU plays a style that should appeal to most fans and does so with a number of local players. Lots more intriguing games on the schedule. Go support this team!

Wow!

Easily! Among the best I have seen in the tournament.

This guy should be good even at a high major program, but needs to add musclein the off season.

A higher ceiling than a Sweet 16 and a Final Four in a four year period?

Georgia Tech and Illinois both hit Loyola with a zone defense. The fact that Loyola was shooting below 20% from the perimeter for most of the game (1-9 in the first half) had a way of making the zone look obvious today. Loyola had lots of good looks all around, but they were obviously not falling.
