Any income a player receives will have to be claimed for tax purposes. Some of the collectives are 501Cs as they do charity work and enjoy the tax benefits of that program.

Old guy Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I do not know much about the Fedral tax regs applicable to corporate entities. However, I do know that the deductions for donations are phased out for individuals reporting income beyond certain levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 And the first domino falls. And here is why they asked for an extension. The Pac 12 is still attempting to get a reasonable TV contract but they have nothing finalized. San Diego State would need to give a year of notice to withdraw next June. If it waits past June 30, the exit fee it would owe jumps from nearly $16.5 million to nearly $34 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be a stupid question thats already been covered, but related to TV contracts, what happens with our TV if/when Bally goes down the toilet?

I think that depends on exactly how Bally swirls down the toilet. If it’s Chapter 11, they will continue operating. Being in Chapter 11 bankruptcy means that they have figured out a way to keep their creditors (the various sports teams they pay royalties too are probably the biggest, along with bond holders) happy enough and convinced they have a way forward to profitability. If it’s Chapter 13, then they liquidate all assets to pay off debt and go out of business. They might end up dividing the business and try to keep operating the regional ones that are profitable, and nix the ones that aren’t. Still need to figure out how this all plays out. I’m guessing Bally and everyone else involved is still trying to figure it out. BrettJollyComedyHour likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a contract with Bally per se. We negotiate with them each year as to what games they may want to broadcast that are not part of the A10 TV package. In fact it use to be that we even sold the ads for the game but I don't know how it works now. I am sure Bally would be interested in the content if the price/conditions were right.

East Div; UD, VCU, FU, STB’s , MESSPHIS, SLU, Loyola. Add Belmont West Div; SDSU, ZAGA, St M’s, BYU, WSU, Nevada, Boise St 14 teams 7 in East 7 in West. Perfect. Big metro areas. Some good history/tradition. It makes too much sense, therefore, it’ll never happen. I wish we had an AD who would spearhead this effort. It would be a very entertaining conf.

TheA_Bomb Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 BYU is B12 next year. So you can replace them with Utah but look for UU to be B12 in the future too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 getting in a conference with a bunch of public schools is going to kill your non revenue sports. we cannot compete. plus doesnt this sea to sea conference have some second tier football schools? nothing good has ever come from slu being in a football thinking conference. typically the football schools end up running the show and bullying the other schools.

I'll throw stones from my glass house at Fordham all day long. Fordham last THIRTY seasons - 3 seasons they finished over .500 SLU last THIRTY seasons - 22 seasons we've been over .500. I'm down on our program but I'm not down enough to think we have sunk anywhere close to the depths of Fordham. AGB91 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was not to compare us to Fordham over the last 30 years but to simply say that we are not a program now that causes other schools to jump at getting us. By the way Fordham beat us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANy notion of putting SLU on the same level as Fordham means you aren't a BIllikens fan and you are a SLU hater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
