I think I will start a church. I'm going to name it: Church Assumption, St. Helena.

In an effort to save my parishoners time, they can just make the checks payable to C.A.S.H.

You are a retard. A 501(c)3 is a tax code, not a tax form. You can not file a 501(c)3. By the way, churches do have to file tax retruns. They file informational returns and they would have to declare this $200,000 donation. It is the IRS's business.

Uh junior, Section 501(c)(3) is a section of the Tax Code under which certain types of organizations are defined as non-profit organizations, it has nothing to do with filing of forms with the IRS to report revenue.

people are over looking that. this isn't a court of law and some jury by peers where they need beyond reasonable doubt to hammer you. this is the ncaa they can work off assumptions and logic and drop the hammer and fighting them and making them get other things like the irs and fbi involved doesn't help. the best thing to do with the ncaa is if you did nothing wrong turn over what they want.

Am I missing something?


Yes.

First, the NCAA is not a court or judicial system. If they believe something is fishy, they can simply rule the player ineligible. The rules of evidence are not even remotely similar to a court case.

Second, if he took $200,000 and put it in the church, do you think he really kept all of the money in the church.

If Cecil's salary went from $25,000 a year to $150,000 for one year, that would be all the NCAA would need to see.

We all have no idea what records have been given to the NCAA since they have no subpoena power I imagine anything given to the NCAA will show nothing.

I think there is fire, but I don't think the NCAA will be able to find it or prove it to the degree they need to rule Cam ineligible.

Someone on the inside will have to turn on Cam, just like the agent that Bush dumped turned on him. That will be after Cam is in the NFL and perhaps, forgets to pay off some of the people he promised to pay hush money too.

Then why does the IRS Tax Guidelines for Chrches and Religious Organizations state:

"Every organization exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code section 501(a) must file an annual information return except:

A church, an interchurch organization of local units of a church, a convention or association of churches,

How it was explained to me. Churches only have to report donations to allow the people donating to claim them on their taxes.

Many churches do this but it is voluntary.

Maybe I am misunderstanding but this is what was told to me by a retired IRS investigator.

The only thing that would need to be proven is the person/booster who gave the donation did not have a prior relationship and history of giving to that church. No prior history before the recruitment = case closed and AU in deep *&$#.



I dont care what happens either way, but I dont see how that proves shite. Just because the person never gave money before doesnt prove anything. How many churchs receive donations from people that have never given before? I'm sure ALOT!

Sure it smells but I dont see how that proves anything.

Not to mention, there is no way this gets resolved before Cam is in the NFL, so I dont see how it would matter at all to Cam or his father and what if any, they could do to Cam.

So the NCAA could put Auburn on probation without any real proof, is what some of you are telling me?

Thats what I have been qouting.

I cannot find anywhere in it that provides what form should be filed for donations. Everything I find a church is exempt from it.

Form 8300: If a church receives $10,000 or more in cash (lump sum), it would need to be reported.


this. it is a reportable transaction when you get to $10k.

there is the possibility of some pretty severe civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance plus an audit by an Anti Money Laundering examiner.

Im sure the $200,000 in donations was done in less than $10k installments.

Poof! That loophole was easy as sunday morning.

Church that qualifies as an organization recognized under Section 501c3 is exempt from paying income tax, but still has to file an Information Return.

Guys, the NCAA is not going to really pressure the Church.. They will find out " WHO' Actually donated the church this large sum of money. When it gets back to a Auburn official or Auburn booster, thats when the sh#$ it going to hit the fan.

Because that person does how to file a tax report on their donations. Churchs are held responsible to in Tax donations. Just ask all the Big time ministers who went to Fed Pen for misapproation of funds in the church.
