ORANGE UNITED NIL

Not directly, but indirectly.

It sounds like TM gets a fixed fee from the SUAD regardless of the number or amount of donations. Thus, each person's individual donation does not itself result in a fee to TM.

Neat article. A lot of really cool, mature decision making.

That's a great read thanks. They struck a fine balance of "enjoy it but respect it". Heartwarming how many immediately did something for their families.

When I was an SU student, my income went for tuition, a few record albums, and an occasional pair of jeans.

Mine went for cheap beer, a few more cheap beers, and an occasional good beer like Miller Genuine Draft.

Yeah, I forgot to include the beer.

Exactly! Just as you alluded to all along...no semantics, no nothing. Other than what you inferred, the built in cost of "doing business."

 

[OttosShoes]

Yeah, I mean, my income at SU went to surviving. But if I got a bag at that age I'll be honest, I'd have wasted it all on a Lambo.

Credit to Fran. He's a coach and a mentor.

financial literacy baby

Great teaching the players that they can be far ahead of their peers if they save and build not just for now but for their future. They can be totally debt free with a good amount of savings when seeking their first job after the end of their football careers. Not many college graduates can achieve that so young.

Re: the ticketmaster discussion. I a previous job I did some work with them. People use them for way more than tickets and typically, the tickets (or donations tied to tickets) are the only place that ticketmaster fees are assessed.

Part of the ticketmaster contracts organizations have is also the software for mass emails (so that's why a lot of SU's emails are sent through ticketmaster) or using their software for credit card information. I can't speak to this exact situation or SU's contract, but to me it would make sense for them to use those two products and I'd be VERY surprised if Ticketmaster took a cut of this (beyond maybe the credit card fee). Think the donation they may take a cut of is the one tied to your ticket (if youre a season ticket holder, whether you know it or not, your ticket price is part 'donation' and part 'ticket' baked into the price. Why? I'm not sure, would assume some accounting reason).

Thanks much for the detailed first hand clarification. When I transitioned our NIL project I had a few donors who told me they would no longer give because Orange United took an administrative fee. I guess they thought the website, legal support including contract authoring, staff salaries, reporting, and marketing among other costs should have been free. I didn’t want anyone to use the same excuse to not give to CAF.
