Are you arranging these, Immamac? If you ever decide to have something in Fort Worth, happy to contribute and host at the Flatiron building downtown. The Fort Worth Club / Petroleum Club would probably be the obvious, but the Flatiron has some unique charm - plenty of alumni in the area looking to contribute too.

Just make sure you include that as income on your next tax filing!

This is a pretty dumb response. Sure, let’s just change the paradigm to meet your agenda . . . The original post is $350k under the table or $350k legitimately through NIL. One is in brown bag hidden from Uncle Sam, one is not. So your “benefactor” is now giving $500k instead of $350k to cover taxes for the beneficiary? That’s quite the change. Don’t make it harder than it needs to be . . . From a donor perspective, a charitable donation is a great tax write-off and a win-win - donate money to a cause, get a write off, influence a recruit. From a recruit perspective - some of who do not come from great backgrounds - giving them a true $350k (and not paying any taxes) is quite different than a taxed $350k. It’s the simple reason you see players on pro teams in California complain about salary caps versus teams in Texas - state income tax is a bitch (on top of federal). You’ll understand some day when you make enough to pay a significant amount in taxes (and then you’ll try and find every way to reduce that amount with your friendly JD, CPA buddy).

Whut Edited 23 minutes ago by lilMAC25 Sounds like someone doesn't fully understand income tax. $350k under the table all day.

50 /50 chance on Greene per Gerry - will announce later in January https://247sports.com/player/earnest-greene-46080544/

It hurts that Dylan Wright already portal'd from A&M as well. Seems like a highly-rated WR would see the writing on the wall in a Jimbo offense, yet they keep going there. There are some rumblings that Ewers is working on some recruits "behind the scenes," but I haven't seen any names in particular.

I hate to even write this, but their defense (int, solid against the run) / special teams (1 td return) were pretty damn good that game. Our defense is swiss cheese.

I mean when you have to explain your "execute the entire team" joke, things are not looking good.

There will always be smoke with the Brocks because of their dad, their brother at UT, coach Flood, and fat pancake stacks. They weren't even on the depth chart this year - there's always a chance because of the multiple connections that exist.

Depends on the terms of the agreement - are you paying / pressuring for a commitment on the spot? Does that commitment include staying on campus until NFL / graduation? Staggered bag delivery based on time on campus? If you don't have a binding contract with specific terms, you play the game that your brown bag may end up over your own eyes as you're bent over a suede maroon couch.

Seems like it would be impossible though given different teams have different positional needs. Sometimes you need 7 DL and 5 OL because your trenches are pure ass.

Same - can't wait to see the snowball effect from this

What the hell do I do with my life now?!? Need more f5 purposes

Isn’t there someone here that has Spanish class with Urban?!? I need something credible dammit!
