Close out the final four minutes of this half. Been a bugaboo for the few good halves we’ve had.

Seems like it. Spirited play. This a fan can at least live with. Those who showed up despite the weather deserve this kind of performance as fans.

Poor Danny. Our home court really is a house of horrors for his mental health.

Most enjoyable half of basketball all season.

Nice effort so far. We have chance to knock two time defending champs onto the bubble. Long way to go though.

Council of Foundations disagrees with you. There are many 501c3 collectives out there. And as far as the bolding. Who is giving to an NIL knowing that a giant chunk of the money is going elsewhere and not the players.

Considerations for Working With 501(c)(3) NIL Collectives

More than 120 “NIL collectives” have been established in the U.S., many of them as tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, to raise funds and enter into agreements that compensate student-athletes at specific higher-education institutions in exchange for using the student-athlete's name...

It is still going to the players even if they partner with a 501(c)3. And if not the booster giving through his business is still getting a tax deduction for their business.

For those who are here it’s been a fun first half.

I don't recall seeing you crying when Biden was told by the Supreme Court that he didn't have the authority to forgive student loans and he continued to do it anyway. If your team isn't the one breaking the rules I guess its ok then?

Click to expand...

What are you talking about? Biden absolutely accepted this ruling. He canceled student loans through other existing programs. He did not continue with his original plan to cancel up to $20K per borrower under the HEROES Act because the Supreme Court said the Biden admin overstepped its authority.

The Biden DOE also accepted a federal court's ruling to prevent the implementation of the Biden admin's SAVE income-driven repayment plan. Because of the court's injunction, and the DOE's acceptance of the injunction, borrowers who switched to this plan have been in general forbearance for months with no end in sight.

This is very easy stuff to look up. You guys really have to stop taking this freak at his word, he either doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, or he's deliberately misleading.

You've made me curious, Matt. Where else was she accepted and is she going to attend SHU?

The point of the post was to give credit to SHU. We seem to use the saying think small at Seton Hall quite often. I just wanted to point out how SHU is on top of their game is some areas.

Other Schools she has applied to and been accepted are Sacred Heart, Vermont, Rhode Island, James Madison, Delaware, Montclair State, SCAD and we are waiting on a couple more. She will narrow down her top choices once all the decisions come in.

Wrong again. Even one of the first ones formed like RU did not receive 501(c)3 status. And it takes awhile to receive a determination. Knights of the Raritan even says specifically that contributions to them are not tax deductible as charitable contributions. Your post is almost as misinformed as your post on reasonable compensation. The players are not employees of C or S corporations where reasonable compensation applies.

NIL collectives that have received tax-exempt status from the IRS under Section 501(c)(3) have qualified for exempt status due to these relationships with partnered charities. Their exempt purpose, as required under Section 501(c)(3), is typically promoting and supporting other 501(c)(3) charitable organizations.Oct 18, 2023

I have to take my hat off to the Admissions dept. My daughter's acceptance came today. She has been accepted to a bunch of schools but SHU was the only one that included a video with the acceptance email. The email was professionally done and even included a diploma with her name written on it. Whoever is responsible for this should be recognized for a job well done.

Felton is a keeper. Playing like a Freshman, but he really can't play defense.

Broadcast just said “ that Gus Yalden injury really hurts them” I laughed out loud.

I think we all know what a focus group is….

Good, then you know that it's not particularly valuable. But yes, this focus group of eleven people means just as much as actual polling because it supports your narrative.

I guess Obama and Biden were Nazi lovers too?

I consider Biden and Obama to both be pretty soulless as politicians (and people, too, probably). So no, it doesn't surprise me that they would accept the support of a very rich person when it's convenient.

SH was able to keep their All-BE pitcher Reich. That's a start.

Game today is on the MLB Network at 3pm. Will "click"back and forth the old-fashioned way with the Last button with the basketball game on Fox.

Talk about misinformation, most did receive 501c3 status. The IRS went on over a year before coming up with an answer on this. So anyone who created a non profit like Hall Hands on Deck in that time received it. And there were a lot of them within that year because people didn't want to be behind the 8-ball. It's only been recently they've been rejecting them.

Congrats to your daughter, especially if this is her first choice.

My niece got accepted to Marquette and got the Marquette pretzel. Confused her, but her Dad loved it. SHU should send out bagels.

it would be better if they sent a Taylor Ham Egg and Cheese sandwich.

Exactly. They feel slighted. They feel someone is getting something they are not and will always feel that way if they are not happy regardless of how much the government is spending.

You give them someone to blame and they are happy to blame them. They will eventually realize that a bloated government is not the cause of their unhappiness and if we had the leanest government in the world, they would somehow be better off but that's just not true.

Disagree for the same reason as before. If you address lawlessness and waste, average Americans will feel that it’s a level playing field. It will make them feel better about government and that someone’s listening.

Not talking about affordability. I'm talking about the overall impact to the economy.
Hundreds of thousands of jobs disappearing rapidly plus a federal hiring freeze is going to negatively impact the overall economy.

Read something this week on Axios that said it would be more of a “blip” for a couple of months. Some of those will retire early or move to private sector.
