"Reasonable" is pretty subjective but I would imagine a bunch of $50-$100 donations would be reasonable.

Just to add to what 56Bison73 posted, I checked with Colleen too.
I do not think that I'd be violating a confidence by sharing the contents of her response:
It'd kind of weird because the big schools have these gofundme links right on their sites, but, then again, the NCAA directives might have changed since then.Quote:
It is permissible to make a donation, provided you are acting independently and haven’t been asked by the student-athlete’s institution to make the donation.
I would suggest the amount being reasonable and nothing extraordinary.
Anyway, I felt terrible about even bringing this issue up when the focus should be on the Shepherd family. Mr. Shepherd sounds like a man I would have liked to meet.
Many of the Bison family were able to attend the memorial service for Louis Shepard. (Photos of the football players have been on Facebook.) God bless them all. Had the privilege of sitting by family members at an away game last year. Very kind people! Rest in peace Mr. Shepherd.
Glad to see the donations are piling up. It suck bad enough when someone passes. When you suddenly have a ton of medical expenses, its really an injury to insult.
