    "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 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.
    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.

    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.

    The total is a continuation of when he was having medical issues last year..
    If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
