    Following up I think this solves one of the major problems of the collective. Tax Deductibility. I still itemize. So when I give money to the program which should I give to?  The Billiken Club and get a tax deduction or the collective and I don’t. 

    I'm certainly not a tax person, but perhaps a creative solution is that the Billiken Club creates a way to donate to the Billiken Club with the understanding that it will then turn around and donate equivalent funds to the NIL Collective.

    EDIT: New info in another thread makes this point moot.

    Signs Are There Of What Is Coming

    I make no apologies about how incompetent I think the AD really is and I realize more than a few other posters get irritated and that’s fine. Let them. When I opened up the mail and read the Battle of the Billikens letter, I thought it was talking about raising money for a local little league team.  Then seeing what VCU plans to do, paying athletes $4-5 million a year. At SLU we pay our guys $500 to 1000 for fundraising prizes? The writing is on the wall SLU fans. Unless SLU gets someone in there that can actually raise money other than asking Fred to ask Chaifetz and Kavanaugh for a bailout this program is going to be toast. And sooner than you think.

    When Mike Bohn was AD at Colorado he basically told May he needed to move on. That was because May was in charge of selling premium seating for football and was very bad at it in a nutshell. If you look at our attendance over the years you can see why. Bad product and dead, stale atmosphere. 7th pick out of 7 candidates. His cousin was interm AD and hated working for Biondi, didn’t want job so he helped get May the job. May returned that favor a few years later and fired his cousin because more coaches and staff went to him for advice over May. Great guy. 
    Chris May will be last AD to comment on SLU’s plan to counter what VCU put out the other day. He has no plan. Never has, never will. It’s too bad fanbase is just that. Fans. Many on this board don’t know anything about this clown except what you want or don’t want to hear. I care about SLU program, not loyalty to an incompetent, insecure middle manager who can’t get a job anywhere else after 17 stagnant years.

    If you think a longtime Colorado football Assistant AD hasn’t been trying to get an AD job at a D1 school with a football program over the last 17 years to leave a job that has no football, you are insane. He has and nobody else wants him. That is the problem. Again the signs are all there in real time and unless we keep doing same things over and over and expecting same people that create problems to keep fixing them we are doomed. VCU is evolving fast, St. Joes, Dayton too.

    If someone can explain what May’s vision/plans are I’ll shut up. Honestly ask yourself this question….is SLU a stronger, more competitive program than it was 17 years ago? 17 years. I’m very worried about the future of my Billikens. Same way Cardinals fans think Mo needs to go. I feel same about May. 

     

    I don't even know if I agree or disagree with what you say anymore.  I just know that it is nauseating reading your posts.

    So we play Quad 1 games away, and Quad 4 T home? How does this help sell tickets in Chaifetz?  Revenue from home games is important.

    If that strategy ends up getting us in the tournament (most likely not this year) a few times then fans will show up if we are a top 50 program even if the competition is not the best.

    Warlick:  He isn't outstanding in any category, but he wins.  You can't quantify it, or put your finger on it, but he just wins.  He didn't start practicing until November.

    Based upon the little I have seen so far, I totally agree with this.  Warlick seems like the kid that will get that important rebound that's needed at the end of a game just because he's more aware and wants it more, ala Goodwin.  He's been sneaky good with finding guys on passes for easy baskets.  He's been making shots.  If this season isn't resulting in a post season appearance, I would rather he gets a lot of playing time, if not starts, the rest of the way.

    Such a ridiculous post. The Beast has won 4 of the last 8 National Championships. I guess they really do have nothing to boast about other than a storied (recent) history!

    Teams currently in the Beast have won 6 of the last 13
