  • 1.  FMV to disposable jerseys?

    Posted 05-08-2025 01:33 PM

    We have a coach who has some old used team jerseys that he'd like to do a fundraiser with.  He wants to offer them to alumni at no cost, but request they make a donation of any amount in exchange.

    I fear this is Quid Pro Quo, but does that change if these are essentially "worthless" items that were going to be given away or disposed of anyway?

    You may think they are worthless. But they are not - you can find FMVs for these all over the Internet. Just search for "game used NCAA memorabilia."

    I think you need to establish a FMV and treat these a QPQ. Either that, or allow people to get a jersey without making any donation.

    Hey Gwen,

    Some of your game-worn stuff is already online, eg

    That can at least give you a reference point for the FMV.
