The 10 bucks a month for Storrs Central goes to Bleeding Blue For Good, an NIL collective for UConn sports. I'm not sure on the exact details, but last thing they said was the goal is for advertising $ to pay for any staff, and all donations go to NIL.

The $10/month goes to keep the lights on at Storrs Central, it is not a deductible donation. Net proceeds help fund BBfG.

All donations directly to BBfG are tax deductible. Purchases from BBfG (banquet tables, meet and greets, etc) are tax deductible, but to a lesser degree (e.g. - can't write off the meal or any swag ...).

@BBFGExecDir feel free to clarify.

Does all $10 actually go to NIL? From what I remember it's only an undefined portion after expenses.

I've actually held off on it because it seemed like it was positioning itself to surplant The Boneyard in terms of its self stated goal to "be a one stop shopping alternative" for fan discussion, not withstand a few halfhearted protestations to the contrary. That said, if Tom is cool with it, so am I.

Thanks for this...already signed up.

What happened to the link in the nav bar to all of the old game replays?

TCF hasn't posted in more than a year. I moved his stuff under the Media link. With that said, I think he was notified of copyright infringement. Not sure why it would matter - there were no ads in any of his links.

From my experience it doesn't really compete with the Boneyard. I don't think the two are the same experience at all.

As far as money, the way I understand it is they need to get their subscriber numbers high enough so they can attract advertisers. Once they get advertisers they'll use that money to fund the staff, and close to 100% of your money should go directly into NIL. But they can't get to that point if they don't get enough subscribers.

Storrs Central charges $10/month or $99/year for subscription-only articles and access to a forum. The money goes directly to the NIL coffers, no deductions for writers, infrastructure, etc. There have been post game interviews with Geno and articles that I haven’t seen elsewhere
