    Hey, DUAN. Do any of you fine folks know the best way to go about investigating a "charity"? My school has become heavily involved in one and just from perusing their 990 forms, it appears that they raised 7 million last year but spent only 2.5 million on the actual projects.


    The other 5 million went to "program costs".

    @thejuiceisloose: They did. About 1 million went to salaries (with 300,000 going to management, which seemed high. Generally charities spend less than 10 percent on management costs). Another 700,000 went to producing the film that describes the charity (its Hollywood glitzy and sucked my school in). 200,000 to rent costs, another million for assorted costs. What was interesting, however, was that 1.5 million was spent was what was labeled (buried on page 45) as the "Uganda Program". This seems to imply that it went to Uganda (where the charitable stuff is based), but for the government's purposes, it was listed separately from the 2 million spent directly. Where did that money go? To pay bribes?

    @chilltown: I wouldn't doubt its bribes. Definitely interesting to break it out though. Most of the 501(c)(3) organizations need audits, so its likely that information is audited. The biggest thing you can do if you have any control over contributing to the charity is make the donation restricted or temporarily restricted. That way they have to use the money for the specific purpose you intend, which is helpful if the school made a huge donation. The bigger the donor you could also request to see the audited financial statements and footnotes along with the auditors report, lots of interesting things end up in there. (I have been auditing non-profits all summer, not a glorious thing to do)

    I haven't been real enamored with Butch Jones, in spite of a 14-1 record in conference play. But with the level of talent on that team right now, that should be the record in conference games. However, that's the first time this year I've watched them and seen him play it meekly so I'm not gonna protest too much.

    Ultimately, a win is a win. Maybe its because I'm not used to having a kicker you can have faith in, but 3 straight runs after an INT looks like a "playing to not lose" to me (another thing BC is used to)

    Not that I was expecting to win any of those BCS opponent games, but losing to Clemson 70-17 was beyond shameful. Fucking Mike DeBord's teams didn't usually get beaten like that.

    @Token_Tennis_Fan: I don't know that he has the rep that ROFLsberger or the other MAC QBs that got drafted high had going into the draft. I worry he might get the small college system QB tag and wouldn't be drafted high enough to really justify it. But, injuries this year might make him consider it more though.

    @Token_Tennis_Fan: oh I think he's got their attention, and CMU has had a lot of tv exposure the past two seasons as well thanks to their recent success. I don't think any scouts have missed him, I just think it's been the more classic dropback guys who seem to get the early entry attention, especially at the mid-major level. LeFevour has good size though, a strong enough arm, and great mobility. He should be a first day pickup either this spring or next.


    However, if he outduels Davis and they win out, then I'd expect him to go. He's a redshirt junior anyway. Might already be graduating this spring.
