Correct, this is a basketball only NIL collective. There are separate books for court club donations, operations, scholarships, etc. that are all controlled by the school, but donor funds do not contribute to scholarships. Contributions to the collective will be deployed directly to basketball athletes.DanaDingle3 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 8:54 am If this is basketball focused, which I think it is, I can't imagine the school is relying on any private donations, i.e. court club members to fund basketball scholarships. Perhaps athletic admin can confirm. There has to be a separate book for court club donations.

Click on UMass, then scroll down and click on the large green in the pie chart: https://www.sportico.com/business/comme ... 234646029/
$12,184,320 - Athletic Student Aid - You can see team by team aid.
Is this not scholarships coming directly from the Department budget, which includes all donations? I understand that a specific Court Club donation goes to a specific project. Other than that, it appears that my dollar in can end up as part of a scholarship dollar out.
Has anyone got a better answer?

Re: The Massachusetts Collective - NIL initiative
scholarships are an expense to the athletic department. Which basket of money it comes from is another question. Highly recommend you look at the financial section from the link below. page 30.Old Cage wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 11:30 am Click on UMass, then scroll down and click on the large green in the pie chart: https://www.sportico.com/business/comme ... 234646029/

Again - Can’t provide any further guidance on this, recommend you contact athletics directly with this question.Old Cage wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 11:30 am Click on UMass, then scroll down and click on the large green in the pie chart: https://www.sportico.com/business/comme ... 234646029/

But by contributing to the collective, you are not putting scholarship funding at risk.

I think this is just a matter of fungibility. You can't distinctly disaggregate the money going out by the sources of the money going in.
But so long as the school hosts Division I sports in the Atlantic 10, they will fund Men's and Women's Basketball scholarships.
It's not discretionary if it's a requirement (although maybe the requirements are max scholarships, not min? not sure).
Perhaps it will leave less donor funds for discretionary expenditures such as upgrades in weight room equipment, buying out coaches, etc.

Need Your Help - The Massachusetts Collective
WE'RE STUCK.
We broke fast from the gate and got to over 130 members, but our pace has collapsed. UMass is 4-1, and we have had a grand total of 2 new members since the Tournament Win a week ago.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
Our Goal is 250 Members by the Harvard Game 12/2. We need EVERY MEMBER OF UMASSHOOPS.com to join and recruit at least 1 new collective member by the Harvard Game. We implore you to talk to your friends, fellow fans, etc and encourage them to join.
Questions? EMail [email protected] OR Call/Text 413-687-5232

Re: Need Your Help - The Massachusetts Collective
Absolutely. We, as fans, can't sit around and hope or observe without getting involved in NIL, because UMass will fall behind. In some ways, NIL levels the playing for a school like UMass. As people and businesses invest, that'll have a positive ripple effect for all.
The Collective also gives a voice to each contributer. One can get involved in a real tangible way here.
Let's push UMass hoops forward!

It’s something much needed if we are to stay competitive in this new NIL era. I joined and I hope others do too.

Re: The Massachusetts Collective - NIL initiative
What are you folks doing for recruiting members? Have you considered organizing a watch party for the Harvard game? A lot of fans won't be able to attend the game since it's in such a tiny gym. Seems like a good opportunity to get people together to watch, drink some beers, and promote the collective.

Re: The Massachusetts Collective - NIL initiative
I just saw that the collective is hosting an information session tonight at 6:30 on Twitter. I wonder if they'll consider moving this to another time so it doesn't interfere with the pregame on the radio.
