Just half of it. The other half is Kirkwood.

You leave the Kandi Man alone.....poor guy was a physical specimen except for his knees. In all seriousness though, I will note that is a tough one to cite because he did not fail in my mind.....his knees did. He is no Ryan Leaf or JaMarcus Russel (sp?). I do not watch enough NBA to know who is a draft bust because of physical problems instead of mental problems or poor shooting or any of that. The UNLV big man is probably the one to pick on for just failing (Cav's top pick?). Either way, I think it is clear from my post that I rarely watch the NBA anymore. I did watch the Finals this year.

My example is done many thousands of times and in aggregate is several million every year. I do not disagree with the premise that NIL creates taxable income that is a liability that needs to be accounted for. I actually just think the car example is a bad one. We don’t have any of the details. Avila’s deal may be to go out and “show off” the car and it is simply a tool required for him to perform that job. Not very different from a company giving a carpenter a hammer to perform his job. it all depends on the actual deal made and what services Avila is expected to perform. A car offers many more loopholes than just cash. Avila could be part of an ergonomic focus group of one to provide valuable feedback on how the car’s ergonomics are for a 6’10 person. We just don’t know.

Correct, but you can make the math work. Part of the $40 is paying the tax on the gift card and part is paying the tax on the $40. I promise it can be done. It is just a question of whether that is how it was set up or not.

Who knows how it is worked, but Bommarito can give him the lease for free AND pay him enough to cover the taxes. That is an option available and is something my company often does when giving people incentives like a $200 gift card. The card will show up on their payroll receipt as $240 or something similar and the $40 is applied to the tax liability.

Yes. He is not one of the ten best players of all time, but he is in my personal favorite top ten. He never even complained. He just put his head down, worked hard, and competed. Ash did the same thing. Ash like Roby committed to a top team to find the bottom fell out just as they arrived. Ash also handled it well, but being a transfer and not four years, Ash is all too easy to forget. I also know his shooting could be a bit inconsistent, but that didn’t bother me.

Agree, but I want to make an observation. Davell Roby played on some dismal teams. Seeing him stay, rooting for him, and watching him grow was one of the very few bright spots. I don’t even want to imagine watching those teams without at least feeling some long term connection with a player.

I liked Jimbo’s story about trying to reverse the scam on a Nigerian Prince scam. Talk of meeting in parking lots with business plans burned on CDs and getting arrested after a misunderstanding with a lady in the produce aisle.

I am not aware of any specific agreements. I just see the Busch Student Center and AB Auditorium and AB Institute (or whatever that medical building is officially named) and it seems SLU has potentially along the way promised that AB is their beer of choice. Again...I have zero knowledge of anything specific (I just couldn't see any other obvious reasons that Urban Chestnut would partner with SIUE over SLU).

I would assume that since we are in bed with AB (I assume they have a number of different partnership and sponsorship agreements still) that precludes us from also partnering with Urban Chestnut.

I wonder what Conference USA gains. This just gives them a team and numbers help, but it doesn’t seem to bring any other benefits in recruiting, travel, SOS, TV revenue, or anything else.

I do not think he speculated on what they would do. He was just saying that the new president will have a say in his AD and that is an important position, so I am sure it will be reviewed I thought it was a straight-forward and concise statement (especially by OG standards). He did not speculate that the new President would remove the AD. He only speculated that it is reasonable to conclude now that we have a new coach and no hint of a change at AD that things are in a holding pattern for the new President to evaluate.

Or I was wondering if it was he backs up the 5 and gets another 15ish minutes at the 4. It means he is an important role player and depth piece, but not featured. I don’t know at all. I will say I really wanted him and think he would’ve made us a better team.
