At Stephen F. Austin University in Texas, administrators plan to spend this week seeking answers to a question they never thought they would have to deal with: How do you legally distribute an unexpected philanthropic windfall to the family of a student athlete?
This, apparently, is what happens when a previously unknown basketball player hits a last-second shot to beat Duke during Thanksgiving week, and word quickly gets out that there is a GoFundMe campaign for the player’s family, whose home and church were badly damaged when Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas earlier this year.
