VIP access? early access? Priority access? They all sound very similar. However- there is a big price difference in some of those levels? What am I getting for $200 vs $100? I know it’s new and they are probably still figuring it out. I truly am confused on the whole thing and just want to understand. I can’t be the only one who is not versed on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you said X rated I thought you might be going somewhere else with your point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like a tiered Patreon-type subscription with different access levels and perks. I am talking about the players doing it on their own as well.

Athletes get an education, room and board, clothing, and a travel stipend all tax free? Now they'll get NIL money handed to them, will that also be tax free? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we hold off on signing up at the site? Or its launched enough for to start paying the $10 a month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have to pay income tax on that money as "independent contractors". "Appearance fees" are taxable income. Even here, @Brad will have to send a 1099 to any athlete that gets more than $600 from The Bullspen NIL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how long one of these genius politicians want to force pay taxes on the other free provided they got on scholarship stuff because It is form a compensation? Also what happened if the star qb or rb is getting all the money bags and he isn't sharing it with his oline, do they stop blocking for him to make a point ?

This pretty much puts thing out in the open more so I’m sure the IRS may come calling at some point. So you can see why Bama was crying about the NIL as now their under the table cheating won’t be as beneficial to them as others teams will offer more lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
