To the editor: Tax impact on college athletics

Sports writer Kyle Rowland’s Feb. 4 article “Tax man coming for universities” began with this vituperous leading paragraph: “The usual divisive political rhetoric oozed out of Washington in December, when President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the $1.5 trillion rewrite of the tax code. Republicans roared with approval, while Democrats seethed with anger.” Need one read anymore? Could a factual account of the reshaping of collegiate tax monies follow? Making it sound like a Dickensian plot, the article pointed out that college athletics will receive a smaller piece of the tax pie or gravy train.
