Dear Pat Ryan: Please pay Boo and Chase whatever it takes to get them back

I bet we get both or neither. If they come back, they come back together to run it back.
Fortunately, the staff has schollies to spare so no reason they shouldn’t plan to lose both and scour the portal for two strong guards. Can never have enough. And if roper has any lingering questions - and both return and two good Gs transfer, give roper a medical year to fully recover. He can practice as scout team and be ready to step up following year… just a thought….

So one or both of them have kids? That also can enter into the decision. I don't think either is really NBA material but might have an opportunity in Europe if they want to continue to play for a bit but that is harder with kids. Whatever it is this next year for them needs to be about the future for each of them whatever it is. If staying at NU for another year helps in that regard then there is an opportunity for them to stay. If it doesn't it is really better for them to move on regardless of what we might like to see.
From what I could tell, NIL is supposed to be kept separate from the schools and are supposed to be funded by business. I would guess it they had some use for the image it would be a deductible expense for the business. Player doing adds for the business and being paid for them is an example. They cannot be paid directly from the school so they cannot be direct employees.
But isn't Ryan done with business at this point? If so, I would guess, it would likely be hard for contributions to such a fund would likely not be deductible. So everything donated to the school directly would be deductible but contributions to some NIL entity would seem to not be. That could likely make things a lot more complicated than just diverting some funds from one purpose to another
Yeah this is a fair point in the sense that Ryan is completely out of Aon and other businesses at this point as anything other than what we'd assume to be just a common shareholder of stock, so any contributions he'd be making would be presumably as an individual/family.
I don't really know the tax issues at stake for individuals and NIL, so I can't really comment beyond that.
If it was a direct contribution to the school, it would be deductible. But from what I can see it cannot be affiliated directly with the school. You could set up a separate fund to do it but I doubt contributions to such a fund would be deductible. Unless it could somehow be set up as some sort of charitable organization ) That would mean after tax money and that is not the way guys like Ryan do things,
If it was a business such as a car dealership that used money to hire the kid for ads, that could be deductible for that dealership as a business expense but would likely have to be paid directly by the dealership rather than though some other entity,
This kind of thing likely makes it harder for a school such as NU. While our grads do well it is often working in corporate world and with a much smaller alumni base, fewer businesses that could do things in a deductible manner
If Roper is healthy he needs to play next year, regardless of what happens with the rest of the roster.
If healthy. But if still recovering, if less than 100%, he does not. Unless roster issues say otherwise.
Separate idea: are any Chicago businesses run by NU alumni in need of advertising?
Couldn’t Boo & Chase make good NIL money being featured in advertisements around the city if they return to Evanston for one more year?

He is out of Aon but he has a new insurance company that he launched with a few other partners from Aon. I don't know how the tax side of things works for him, but just FYI.
