He won't qualify, longhorns are steers. A bull can become a steer, but there is no going back.

The IRS will be the easy part. The concern will be if (or when) states begin looking into who they want to go after for taxes, which won't begin for a few years, but will be pursued retrospectively.

The issue is the burden of proof would be on those claiming NIL is earned only in the state the student athlete is attending school. There will be quite a bit of gray area, but I imagine it would be very difficult to demonstrate that NIL money was earned solely from the location of the school.

Not quite 35 years ago (spring 1991) I read about California imposing state income tax on visiting baseball players (I'm an accountant, I have to read crap like that). The atate of California, going after major league baseball was what led to all professional athletes having to have taxes...

As long as it isn't Eddy Curry.

A few tall wide receivers, a few very tall tight ends. I'm beginning to think coach Candle has a type.

One thing I realized when I turned 65 on my most recent birthday: there are a lot of old people out there who are younger than i am.

If they don't now they will soon. I don't see any way NIL can be defended as not being earned as a participant in the games they play (even if they may miss some games). At some point every tax state will want their share.

Most of my current concern comed from my feelings from that time frame when it appeared all catholic members of the conference at that time except Villanova appeared to be content letting UConn, Syracuse and occasionally another school or two do all of the heavy lifting.

I thought it was Rudolph's girlfriend who said that.

That wasn't what I posted but intellectual honesty has never been your strong suit. At the moment[n] one [/b] Big East school is already in. Hurley can pick our starting lineup and substitution rotation out of a hat and we will still make the tournament. No other BE school is in a position...

I want to be number one after the lady game is played on a Monday night in April. Anything before that is nice, but not necessary.

Both St John's and Nova have some work to do. Of greater importance, Nova escaping was a very good thing for their tournament hopes but if they lay a couple eggs against questionable BE teams (they easily can) their postseason will be the NIT. If an imperfect storm happens, (we run the table...
