it is legal if the student is not actively working for the money. Student visa holders can legally earn royalties and passive income while in school.
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.

They can even get paid for the use of their name, image and likeness back home during the season. Just the whole transaction needs to take place in the other country. Say a kid from Australia is getting paid by an Australian company for the use of his NIL back home and the check is deposited in the kid’s Australian bank account, that wouldn’t violate his visa. He just can’t be doing work in the US for that money.
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.

He cites STL being a great sports town, great facilities/resources for sustained championships as deciding factors as well. Salary is not end all be all, especially considering what this dude will make in coaching.
Perhaps more impressive was beating out FAU. Alma mater and recent Final Four worked in their favor.
Florida Atlantic was paying the last coach about 50% of what Shertz is going to make at SLU.

I would like a visionary with good organizational skills to bring some improvement.
Fund raise, fund raise, fund raise, can the new President raise money? And give a good speech on occasion?

I don't know if it's the death and I'm gonna wait, watch and see. But if nothing's done to at least rein things in, I'll probably no longer be interested. College sports started as an extracurricular activity. The tail started wagging the dog long ago, but it's now become pro sports.
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.

Saint Louis University and Washington University in St. Louis initially sought to contest an Olympic football championship, but were unable to host it officially. Both teams ended up simply playing their regular seasons from teams around the country, making their status as an official demonstration sport dubious. St. Louis was declared the champion "by default."
Default in this case means by proclamation of the local newspapers. SLU was also proclaimed to be the state champions that season.

The winner of McKendree vs. UMSL.
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.

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.

SLU -32.5
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.

I'm guessing the wheel caught on about that quick, one rolls by all the others roll BEHIND him.
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.

I can't think of a single reason why Saint Louis University, the first program to have the forward pass, shouldn't be involved with football.
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.

-the president who saved LU was Dennis Spellman who had a strategy to get government schollies for as many kids as possible, that's where the sports programs expanded and football was created
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.

It’s gonna be a small crowd. Generally people have deprioritized going to sporting events since Covid hit. There was a pitiful crowd at every NIT game last night, and I expect a slightly below average Chaifetz crowd tonight (better than every other NIT crowd, though).
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.

Also expecting a number of transfers from UMASS and GW (they reportedly have fired Christian)
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.

Except that he has never pointed this out. That’s my only problem. There should be somebody in the local media putting pressure on Mizzou to play SLU straight up. Unfortunately BenFred joins the long list of local commentators who decide not to do so.
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!

Kansas signed a D2 forward. Interesting to see how the kid makes the transition to high D1.
This guy should be good even at a high major program, but needs to add musclein the off season.

Moser should take slightly more money and own Chicago at DePaul imo - sh** job currently but better than Loyola was when Moser took it over and much higher ceiling. Or stay and hope that ND tanks another year, he would fit perfectly there.
A higher ceiling than a Sweet 16 and a Final Four in a four year period?

Exactly what the program needed to bring in new fans and bring back fair weather fans. Worth every penny of NIL.
Also, can we all agree not to call him Tosted Avioli as suggested by Ben Hochman?
There is a long, long list of great nicknames, but this is not one of them.
