It’s not an $8M NIL donation. It’s Bulldog Club. We are Mississippi State-ing it again.
And my 45 minutes of hope are over.

Yes and no. It seems to be geared toward preparing for the revenue sharing that’s on its way.
It's going to pay for athletes. It's being worded that way because revenue sharing isn't legal yet. Jesus man.
And not that I'm trying to downplay the donation because it's historic news about MSU athletics finding that we desperately needed, but I do have a suspicion that the commitment is more along the lines of $8M over the next 10-15 years than it is an immediate cash gift.
I think the ambiguous description of the donation was purposeful. I think they want it to look NILish without it being straight up NIL. I'm willing to bet it's tax-related.
I would HOPE a major NIL donation would have "En Eye El" plastered all over it dozens of times within the press release. I'm certainly not throwing stones because we need all the $$$ we can get. I'm grateful for the family that made it happen.
Those two things are basically one and same now. With revenue sharing coming, things are changing.
But they'll just count it towards the $22M we're already obligated to pay. So no additional money for athletes.

You literally have no clue if that is true and have no reason to think it is. You're just making sh*t up to be miserable.
It COULD happen the way patdog says. But it may not. We don't know yet, and neither do you. It's up to the AD.
These are things people want to know when you're talking about donating to NIL.
And yet he's stating it as fact and you're on here bootlicking him with zero knowledge.
"bootlicking" = "it COULD happen the way patdog says". Interesting.
Calm down, scooter.
I mean, I suppose Charlie COULD divert all the BI money to Volleyball, but at some point you have to trust the people in charge are going to do what is intended.
Or not and live as a miserable cynical person, I guess.
I thought my first name was Dammit until I started first grade!
Oh yeah and My wife use to call me "Oh GOD" and "Dear Jesus" while doing the deed.
I heard it's a raise for Hutzler.
Heard it was going to pay for the repairs of the large cowbell.
Some folks on SPS and ED for that matter live pretty sad lives! Got 2B negative a lot.
You folks who are negative must not have heard the recent scientific news.
Being negative increases your chances of coming down with Alzheimers or dementia.
I’m afraid a LOT of our posters are 100% DOOMED.

If by Mississippi State-ing you mean our fans find a way to ***** about an $8mm donation, then yeah, totally.
We need to take some of that 51 million we got from the SEC and I’d guess in 2025 we’ll get 60 million or more because of UT and OK coming in and put towards buying some players.
BC is only tax deductible if you designate that the contribution will not give you any ticket priority before you make the donation.
Well maybe that’s what they did. If they can give 8 million I think they can afford to have other contributions that go toward their Club ranking and tickets.
That’s exactly what this is. And hopefully this is what will happen nationwide. Bring all the NIL collectives inside the athletic departments & let the schools pay players directly. This is still a huge donation for Mississippi State regardless. $8,000,000 is a lot of money.
I find that it’s far healthier to be negative.
When the bad news is confirmed, I’m not in as foul a mood as other people because it’s what I thought would happen.
When it turns out to be better than expected (even if it’s just partially bad), I’m happier.
It's about to be many more than Charlie involved. The whole AD is coming on board in 2025.
Either way, it's not a big ask to see the plan for NIL. 'Just give more' is not going to work.
It would be great to have that much in the bank just for football (stadium, NIL, coaches salaries, marketing, etc.)
No there aren't. Now that's not to say someone won't claim a deduction they're not entitled to (I DO NOT recommend this). But if they're audited, the IRS really won't care about anything other than documentation that the points were given up BEFORE the gift was made.
