I want to give, a lot.
But... why hasn't anyone contacted me specifically about Tulsa NIL donations? I used to give pretty good for many years. Why wouldn't TU NIL personally contact past donors?

There's renewed energy. No???

Get a calling TU.

Of course... I still don't fully understand how this NIL stuff works. I loathe it all. But... it is what it is.

I also understand that contributions are NOT tax deductible. Right?

I think now the collective is shut down and things go through the University.

Tomorrow is TU Giving Day. Perfect time to give to the athletic department.

Make your check (or credit card) out to University of Tulsa and make it for Loyal Always True for Men's Basketball and it will go for NIL(tax deductible now). Send to Justin Moore or Eric Konkol or anyone over there. They don't contact everybody so just send it in "quickly".

Are you sure? Thought Loyal Aaways True was for athletics in general and school decides how to use. Couple years ago they wouldn’t allow designation and when they did they would just deduct your direct support from planned overall giving to men’s bb program.

Make your donation now!!!

Just did so myself.

IT IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE WHEN MADE TO THE U OF TULSA. It's how TU operates and functions. Much different than larger institutions.

There is a lot of conflicting information out there. The TU athletic office called me as soon as I sent them an email and walked me through it. THEY KNOW THE RULES and can help you make an informed decision.

I committed to the most money I have ever pledged for any tax exempt institution.

Multi year commitments are best for AD planning purposes. But every little bit counts.

I want my money to go to TU Athletes -- not DC!!!!!

BTW I doubled my pledge once I heard about Riley and Ford today. Anger fuels me.😁

Yes, just designate it specifically for Men's Basketball. I think it goes through the Loyal always true division. The Hurricane Impact collective is n more.

Are we up or down compared to last year? I gave to Champion fund and NIL for football. Will probably give basketball this week

The 2.6 million total is insanely higher than last year. More than triple! I cannot speak to the athletic part. Of course we are now fully in the revenue share world now too.

If you simply add the two athletics line items together, that total exceeds the University's entire total take from the 2025 giving day.

That tells you something.
