Yes. 1. falsely argue that you are entitled to it- because. 2. Argue that you were forced to take a job at your company, which is a monopoly- thus forced and that you are underpaid with no justification. 3. Sue and certainly win.
Yet another reason to buy Asics and never buy Nike.
so, can i have my business pay me for my NIL instead of a salary and avoid state taxes too? What limits this to athletes?
The guy that posted it, put there was an error. Those numbers are in $K not $M
Recruiting won't be a thing in 3 years. Teams will simply publish their salary cap and available space and Nike and Scum agents will fill the rosters they have interest in. We will get the leftover scraps. It could save a school like VT money in the long run. Yeah, you are systematically shut out of all 5 stars and most 4 stars, but hey. It's pro football. It's what the fans wanted. Players were slaves before. And if you don't like the team/hand that Nike and agents dealt you, you just buy a brand new team in the offseason.
Pittsburgh has such an underrated food scene.
Yeah I can see this being used as a recruiting pitch for certain states. Nevermind the fact that Tennessee, for example, has an average sales tax of over 9.5%.
I blame grown fucking men salivating at 18 year olds throwing a football. They pay millions in no-show NIL bullshit to feed the machine, because their life would be worthless if not for Ole Miss football. That's who I blame. A society that places sports fandom over literally everything else. A society that coddles 8th grade football players and gives them special treatment. A society that wants to raise my taxes to pay off college debt for others yet argues this holds no monetary value- cause durrr durrr durrr ballers... A society where bartman received death threats because of a foul ball. A society where the dodgers can violate thousands of tax laws to defer hundreds of millions of dollars to Ohtani. Gotta beat the Giants. That's what's most important. Society fuels this- not the average player I agree.
You'll have your own suite above the paddock area. There may be some common areas, but think of it like having your our suite/box at a baseball game. Food, drink, bathrooms, seats all inside the suite.

New Jersey has not seen a tax it didn't like since 2018. The bending over backwards and taking up the ass by politicians to give more money to kids playing football and basketball has reached a new level of disgusting.
Bingo. To further the logic, Texas, Florida, and Tennessee are all no state income tax states. This being the case the schools in the other states don't want to be at a recruiting disadvantage to those schools in the no income tax states so they just waive it for NIL income.
Yeah this is going to be abused to the point where any media personality, politician, and rich fuck who has their face known will now be able to claim their income is Name Image and Likeness based in order to skirt income taxed that the rest of us have to pay.
Just keep that wealth gap growing, baby!
The invite says we have a Paddock Club suite. Does that mean my seats are in a suite at the club? Or is Paddock Club suite the same thing as the Paddock Club?
I agree this sounds ridiculous, but what I am absolutely not going to do is blame this on the athletes.
Once again, the NCAA has had decades to fix this and just make them employees of the university. They have steadfastly refused to do anything and instead hoped state/federal government would bail them out.
They might be exempt from state taxes that is in their rights as states, but they cannot grant federal income tax exemptions for those athletes. The IRS man is the most feared government employee for a reason.
Going to laugh the first time one of these college athletes has the lambo seized because they didn't file federal taxes.
Until the coaches, professors, medical staff, field crew, broadcast team are tax exempt, the players can fuck right off. Seriously.
The Paddock access is all you'll need. can see the crews, eat the good eats, bump into celebs, etc. There are usually some F1 experience stuff to do as well and brands will have various things up too. Good times. find your seats for the start of the race and then go back at the end. If you're not drunk by that time of course.
Yeah the argument that corporations and rich people don't pay taxes isn't valid. Run a corporation and tell me business is tax exempt.... But the big hitters do get to take advantage of every law provided loophole that is discovered/exploited by their team of tax attorneys. That is true.
On the overall topic and to agree with all others, this is bullshit. You want to sit at the table, you gotta help wash the dishes.
Yes, fast fingers and neck deep in proposals got me again.
FYI egg bowl is Mississippi (believe you mean iron bowl) but your point still stands.
I have some thoughts but don't want to get political. I'll simply say this is outrageous.
Math is hard.
"Unless you're a billionaire or multi-billion dollar corporation" Billionaires are taxed on income- just like you and me. Corporations are heavily taxed- payroll, Medicare, property, etc. You can argue that they have tax lawyers that use the law to minimize taxes, but they do in fact pay taxes... a lot of them.

I'm pretty sure some of the overall spending numbers are not correct either. Those may be what are reported by someone, but is SMU really spending the least in the ACC? And Yale spending almost as much as many P4 programs? Yeah, I know we had sports like yachting or sailing, but if you went to the Yale Bowl or the Whale (the hockey rink) or Yale Stadium (baseball) and that they do not give athletic scholarships, there is no way Yale Athletics spent as much as these other schools. Not unless things have changed REALLY dramatically in the last 25 years.
