Stanford and NIL - 82lsju - 06-13-2025
from an email from the AD on the House settlement
- Philanthropy
- Home of Champions Fund - Through this new giving opportunity, donors can make a tax-deductible gift of any amount to give Stanford a competitive edge by funding additional scholarships and direct NIL agreements between student-athletes and the Athletics Department. This fund is critical to recruiting the best student-athletes and maintaining competitive rosters that set our programs up for success.

Before you pull out your checkbook thinking you are contributing to "additional scholarships", consider
(SI.COM)
Quote:According to the terms of the House settlement, “The full cost-of-attendance dollar value of any new or incremental athletic scholarships — that were not previously permitted by NCAA Division I rules — up to two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000.00) ("the Athletic Scholarship Cap") will count against the [revenue-sharing] Pool.”
The article suggests that adding any scholarships is money spent unwisely if the goal is to improve the team's performance. More so at an expensive school.

Yes you can contribute to the sport you choose. That’s also in the letter. It’s a long letter
RE: Stanford and NIL - BostonCard - 06-13-2025
Personally, I struggle to see how revenue sharing (AKA paying athletes to play sports in college) constitutes a charitable donation. Maybe the "additional scholarships" but the rest seems like a stretch of the spirit of the charitable deduction even if the letter of the law is not violated.

So how does this all fit in (or not) with Lifetime Cardinal? As for the SI article, a scholarship at Stanford is more expensive than an in state scholarship at a school like Univ of Texas. How does that delta apply to all of this and the $2.5? This whole thing is a mess and needs to get blown up, imho.

Guess: when we donate to Stanford athletics, that’s a donation to Stanford. Tax deductible. Maybe revenue sharing falls under the same umbrella.

I mean, it’s possible to do all sorts of gymnastics to justify it, but that’s not the spirit of a charitable deduction.
