The "average" unlimited phone plan is about $100 or so for one line. That's $1200 a year, the stipend can easily cover than AND the roughly $75 or so a month you pay for car insurance.

On scholarship athletes honestly don't have any "bills" to speak of other than a few luxury ones... there's been a vocal few that have made it out to be like "living in a 3rd world country" but they don't wtf they are talking about honestly, US privilege and all. Going to bed hungry...listen if you ate 2 or 3 meals THAT SAME DAY you ain't going to bed hungry, you don't know what hungry is.

I still see no issues with player's profiting off their own likeness, because ultimately that will require said player to do a bit of side hustle/work themselves. I get both sides of the argument, but I also don't want to see football or men's basketball (small portion of the larger picture) ruin the opportunity for other student athletes to use their talents to help offset the cost of attending college.

It's not the fault of the university that a lot of these athletes don't take advantage of the main benefit of them being on scholarship, you're getting basically 24/7 free tutoring and no cost to take courses. If you take the same bogus course 15 times and leave UNC after a junior with next to no credits towards a degree that's on you ultimately. Plenty of great college athletes have earned amazing degrees and never played a down in professional sports.

You're missing one big point with athletes needing money "outside of the scholarship" to just get by. Alcohol and weed is not cheap

15k per year. Per person. Not exactly that restrictive. Have known 1 couple to receive 28k/year (back when it was 14k/person) from their rich aunt trying to minimize estate taxes once she passes by passing it all out ahead of time.

Even then it is the person giving the money, not the one receiving it. They just have to deduct the amount over 15k against their combined lifetime estate and gift tax total exclusion amount....which is a meager 11+ MILLION..per person. Lol. Just 20 years ago it was only 650k...no comment.

All I know is I don't have enough for it to have an affect and as an orphan, I dont have a rich aunt.

If Tennessee signed those 9 zero star guys the fans would melt down is the point. Stars do not matter.

A good example is Emmanuel Mosley. He was average at best for us, at times horrendous.

Stars matter in college, not the nfl. Fans meltdown here because the teams that gobble up the stars we play every Saturday in the SEC.

Was he horrendous or were the coaches/fans horrendous?

You can't even -gift- people sums of money (legally) without taxation man.

Wanna bet? Do you think bag men file a 1099 for the money they put in little brown bags? Me thinks not.

This is accurate. Nothing is black and white. Everything is nuanced.

Yeah, it's unfortunate because the program truly does have potential. But unless they can stem the corruption, and more importantly, Asia's demand, it's just not gonna work.

Even the governments. There's 3 countries claiming populations that when combined, far exceed the total population for the entire region. You'd think that would be questioned a little more.

You have no idea what you’re talking about.
You have no idea how recruiting works.

I was once a recruit but have no idea how it works okay. Once again you have nothing to add other than telling me I'm wrong.

Yea, I essentially laid that out a few pages back....

There is the Annual Exclusion of $15k per year
There is also the Lifetime Exemption of $11M

If you max out your annual exclusion, you can still continue to give “tax free”... it just starts hitting your lifetime exemption on the first $11M of your estate.

And as far as the lifetime exemption goes... we shouldn’t NEED one.

The amount of Estate you can pass on to your heirs untaxed should be UNLIMITED.

And you can QUOTE ME on that!

Would you like to see all the statistical analysis that’s been done time and again, over and over, showing the correlation between Class Rankings and On Field Success?

Or are you just going to stick with your ignorant, uneducated feels on the topic?

This whole paying college players argument is silly to me. They are already getting paid. And I'm not talking about in scholarships room and board etc. I'm talking bag men. It's just an argument over whether to make it above board, transparent and regulated or to keep pretending it doesn't happen when this argument is brought up, but accuse other schools of outbidding us when we miss on a recruit. Either way is fine with me. There are positives and negatives in both arguments. Nb4 someone insults me for my perfectly reasonable point. That's dumb blah blah blah. @ me.

The kids out there right now getting recruited with zero stars beside their name must magically become better after going to a camp. Plenty of guys will never go to a camp to get graded but will be stars in the NFL. You are the ignorant one here.

I bet you buy a lot of toilet paper for your household

One of my best friends has 5 females in his house----4 daughters and a wife-----he once told me that toilet paper was one of his biggest expenses

You have to be smart. You go out to a restaurant or a store, you load up.

 

[Glitch]

Yes, you are the ignorant one. Not me, the guy with a degree in wildlife management from the University of Tennessee and has written case studies on wildlife management in Africa and who's good friend is a manager on a reserve in Botswana.
