I believe that they filed paperwork under 501(c) initially as that is what other collectives were doing, but they are not operating as a charity. That is, in part, why any contributions you make to a collective are not tax deductible. So far, the IRS has taken the position that collectives...

No, it is not reliant on the retailers because the donation is calculated based on Grey Duck’s revenue, not the retailers. It is a business, I am confident they have systems in place to track their sales to retailers. All businesses do this, especially in the liquor industry and especially...

I think if it's a career achievement (HOF, 3,000 hits, etc.) then any team they played for counts. If it's a single season accomplishment (Gold Glove, All-Star, 40+ HRs, etc.) then it is limited to the team played for that season. So, for example, Wade Boggs is a Yankee and a Ray as a member...

I hadn't heard that, I was going off the DTA post above. I hope that is correct. That would match the arrangement that Iowa has with their similar program.

I believe that is correct. To be clear, they are donating 20% of the profit, not 20% of the sale price.

It doesn't really seem like we're going to reach a conclusion here. I think you mostly just don't like PJ and all his requirements for participation in the program. You think that they are silly, he thinks that they are important ("how you do one thing is how you do everything.") All coaches...

You can expect whatever you like, I just don't think there are any coaches who would want you involved in their program if that was really your expectation.

This could well be true. It doesn't have anything to do with NIL.

That's just it, though. I don't think there is any evidence that these boosters are "calling the shots" in the way you are suggesting. Do you think that there's a power five (or is it four now?) coach in the country who would be receptive to a booster saying "Coach, I know you think QB1 gives...

Do you have reason to believe that PJ has ever benched somebody for wearing a t-shirt to class or sitting in the third row? PJ definitely has more specific requirements than most, but they aren't secrets to the players or to you as a donor. Whether it's PJ or Nick Saban, Kirby Smart or Mel...

Did anyone else ever wear the short-brimmed batting helmet like this? It's a bit before my time, but I don't recall anyone else sporting that look.

No school or coach worth a damn would allow some asshole like you (in your hypothetical) to dictate how the team functions or undermine whatever culture they are trying to establish. That's not unique to Fleck.

I don't necessarily disagree with your conclusion, but would add some additional context. At the time that the decision was being made to build the "new" high school (30 years ago) the plan was for the development of northwest Plymouth/Medina to proceed much more slowly than it ultimately was...

Well that gives me even more reason to get to Mississippi State. Then I can say I attended Minnesota's first road games at both an ACC and an SEC opponent.

I don't really want to get into a debate with you over how best to categorize the Gophers' level of mediocrity over the last 5-6 decades, but if i did I might point out that you have identified eight Gopher teams that you describe as "solid to good" over those 50-60 years. I might also mention...

Finally someone has identified the real reason that Minnesota football has been wandering around in the wilderness the last 50+ years!

I don't believe that Minnesota has ever played a road game at an SEC school. The closest I could find was a couple of games at Mizzou in 1966 and 1970, long before they were SEC members. I don't think Mississippi State has ever hosted a Big Ten school on campus. So while I would concede...

That's incorrect. He quit to take the Alabama job after saying for a month that he wouldn't be the coach at Alabama.

Our group had a great time. Good weather, beautiful campus, nice people and good food. Had planned to seek out some of the tailgating, but had so much fun on Franklin Street that we never got to that. We heard at more than one place that they hadn't planned for so many Minnesota fans and UNC...
