    Default Louis Shepherd

    Sincere condolences to Darrius and his family. Darrius was very close to his father and thankfully was able to make it home before Louis passed away. It is sad that his father has had health problems since Darrius came to NDSU, so they were only able to attend a few of his games. My prayers to to his family for the strength to get through this difficult time.

    I hate to even bring this up, but I'm a little unsure about what the NCAA would think about boosters donating to the Go Fund Me account.

    I've done some research and it looks like it has been OK... but I still wish the gofundme site explicitly said do and/or that NDSU was officially OK with it. Anybody know anything about this?

    Good question. But the fact that this service is available to the regular students as well would take that out of the equation. But the service would also open up an avenue for inappropriate payments.

    Yeah, my question is more that I'm a booster so it might not be OK for me to donate. Like I said, I've seen some cases where similar campaigns were deemed permissible (the Colorado State one I listed before). And also this one: https://www.cbssports.com/college-fo...al-in-7-hours/ but I don't know if they had to jump through some hoops to make them permissible or something.

    First of all, my condolences. Way to young to pass.

    Second, I strongly recommend against donating. You are giving cash to his family, it's a kind gesture, but not even close to being in the grey area in my opinion.

    Well, I won't donate until I get a definitive answer that it is OK. I really hated to even bring it up.

    JUst got off the phone with Coleen. Donations are permissible as long as they arent a directive from NDSU and they are reasonable.

    She also appreciated the call and said if there are any questions what so ever in regards to compliance please---fell free to call as its better to be safe!
