Mississippi House pass a bill on no tax on NIL.

Just state taxes. The feds will hit them hard.

No income tax in Texas and Tennessee and Florida either

This is finally the bridge too far

Frick all this

These guys make more than most anyone anyway. They can pay taxes

This is retarded

There’s a possibility it doesn’t pass the MS senate.

There’s been some rumble here in Kentucky with doing similar and across the spectrum people aren’t thrilled about it. Tax breaks in poor states for folks who will see more money in one year then some will in a lifetime isn’t well received (rightfully so).

Arkansas did this awhile back as well

You got a link, because I have not heard any discussion on this. A simple google search also has not shown any “ rumble”.

There’s a great irony here.

People generally don’t like NIL and how it’s used (for the most part), but people caring so much about winning that the House wants to exempt NIL income from state taxes is why you have NIL in the first place.

I have said before that CFB right now is a Mexican standoff. No one wants to shoot or die but no one trusts anyone else enough to put their gun down. Even Dabo is doing what’s necessary now from an NIL and portal standpoint.

This stuff will never be sane until the fans walk away (unlikely) or someone with skin in the game and millions to earn (an AD, coach, etc.) is willing to accept a disadvantage on principle and likely lose because of it (also unlikely).

I fully support the players being paid (and fairly taxed), but they’re not getting a dime of my money beyond my eyes on a TV screen or a once-a-decade trip to a game. I’m not directly paying shite for anything - NIL, facilities, whatever. Never have.

I’m a Bama alumnus and former walk-on, but the Tide can lose every game from now until the end of time before I give a penny. BUT some more passionate fans are not going to watch the Tide get beat to death year after year and will begrudgingly pay whatever to keep them winning. Other fan bases will do the same.

But I must admit that as someone who doesn’t really care who wins and loses, the NIL and portal drama is entertaining to watch.

We went from "I need a little pocket money to take my girlfriend to dinner" to "I shouldn't have to pay any taxes on the millions of dollars I make"

In less than 5 years.

I hope these types of blatantly unconstitutional laws are challenged aggressively.

Letting college professional athletes be exempt from taxes just because people like sports is fing retarded and illegal.

There wouldn’t be a link since it’s just chatter among legislators between committee meetings (know some folks in Frankfort through work and previous job). Some UofL folks have been trying to get in the ear of state folks to do similar. It’s just wildly unpopular so it’s not getting much traction. A lot of waiting to see who else does it/how it gets implemented elsewhere.

frick, what reason would that income not be taxable while the middle class drowns...
