The parents more than regret this day.

She will regret it also. All very sad.

I was torn by this story, because while it sucks to suddenly have your money tree taken from you, I know dozens of kids in college whose parents could never have afforded to buy them a car, or pay their insurance, or finance their books — they had to work their way through college on their own.

Now I’m curious how the NCAA will EVER be able to keep athletes from taking donations. There is nothing “special” about this case, making it different from every other case of a poor kid getting to college because of an athletic capability.

THis is true, you can gift money to people and it is tax-free, but there are limits to how much a single person can give you, like $10,000. THe idea is the people who give you the money already paid taxes, and since you are getting a donation, they are not getting services for what they give you.

Yes, NY has both front and back plates.

Mandatory.

Could be it was her car on her parents insurance and maybe registered in their name.

Re the go fund me lesbian story.

Can I donate money to the running back of my favorite team?

What if he says he’s disowned or oppressed or has ADD?

NCAA opened the door to student athletes getting paid off above board.
