The White House dropped their budget off to the public today... included in it is Obama's desire to remove the 80% deduction for seating fees / required donations.
With the Gophers planning to jack up the fees considerably over the next few years, how do you think they would/will respond if Obama's wishes come to pass?
You'd hope this would be a top risk management topic they have a plan for already, but I don't know what it would be.. "oh well, people don't get a tax deduction"?... "let's lower the amounts"?... "let's delay the timeline"??

LateNightHoops.com said:Today the White House released 2016 budget documents for the United States Government. Included within those documents was at least one measure that may have college sports fans on opposite sides of the political spectrum agreeing with each other.
Currently, seat donation fees and similar “required donations” to universities as a prerequisite to buying tickets to sporting events are generally 80% deductible as deemed charitable contributions.
President Obama’s budget would eliminate this, as he puts it, “loophole.”
