It made him ill to a degree that I believe called for hospitalization. Might be wrong on the hospitalization part. But as a kid, that kind of trauma can really affect a person for life.

Say, seeing this topic, I have to ask, if you do the prepay part, doesn't the student have to attend school in Virginia? One of the reasons we chose not to do a prepay is that we did not know where she would want to go. There has to be some rule to allow you to get the money to use in another state, but we did not feel like trying to figure that out and just went with normally invested 529s. Do people knew how that worked if you prepay for State A and then you child wants to go in State B? Other than telling her, tough shit, you are going to State!

Our daughter is 17 now, so we're definitely not changing anything at this point. Just a curiosity of mine.

My wife and I got 2 plans as we could not decide which to settle on. One of them was Utah as it seemed to be one of the best in terms of options and fees. The other was Iowa.

Assuming the children are dependent then the state of affiliation goes to the parents/guardians of those children. In other words, the people who are claiming them on their tax return and also providing financial support for them. In-state tuition requires one year of documented residency and you need to apply and go through the process. It takes a couple months and a lot of paperwork. Just did it.

I would also love to read this post if you write it. That is top tier offseason material in my mind. Would be especially interesting to me since I became a fan in 2009 as a freshman, so I tried to watch/read a lot about the 08 team to understand how things were before I started paying attention.

So Ross/Godfrey/Staples had a really good take on this whole situation on their yahoo show/podcast. I'll circle back with the link later, but TLDR, this is the system working as designed

  • If Williams transferred, he would owe Washington the life of the contract - So suppose LSU wanted to pay him $6m and he owed UW $3 for breaking the contract:
    • LSU would have to pay him $9m total ($3m to UW for breaking the contract + $6m in house money)
    • The $9m goes against LSU's $20m house cap
    • Williams would be taxed on the total amount ($9m in the example above, even if he only nets $6m)
  • NCAA GO (the clearinghouse for real endorsements) is requiring itemized lists for any contracts that are guaranteed money - so if an athlete wants guaranteed money from a collective, the collective must provide an itemized list. If the money is not guaranteed, this level of detail is not required.
  • In the B10, house money is paid directly from the conference: money is not sent to the schools to redistribute; rather schools tell the B10 how to distribute the money to players. This sets the table for a time with players are employees bc they will be employees of the B10, not the schools.
