Shouldn't be too big of a deal. MS is getting rid of state income tax altogether in 5 years.

Lol no they're not. At earliest it would be 2038, but even then it would have to meet several provisions to get to that point which it won't. Plus theirs a clause that allows them to stop dropping the percentage at any point. It was just another lie by Tate to make himself feel good.

So it's a disadvantage for the next five years for programs that already struggle to compete?

Seems like kind of a big deal.

I'm no Tate fan so nothing there would surprise me - I thought it was by 2031 though.

The way they implemented the rest of the tax hikes immediately but delayed the income tax drop was borderline criminal.

Ole Miss is struggling to compete in the NIL era?

Has anyone informed Ole Miss of this?

If you describe the 5th winningest team with a top 4 finish the last 3 years as "struggling to compete" then I can't imagine how you'd describe Florida in that same timeframe.

Why should I have to pay taxes but an athlete shouldn’t?

Also our stat tax will only be like 4 percent next year. We aren’t talking California’s income tax here

I'd obviously describe Florida as struggling as well. Not sure that's the point or comparison to make here.

Florida, Texas & Tennessee are other states with SEC schools that have no income tax.


This is a little misleading since nobody pays income tax in those states.

I’m glad this didn’t pass. Kudos to the legislature

fricking good. I don’t know many people, Ole Miss or State fans, that wanted this to pass

I guess for the same reason a coach can hire his son to assist him at a state institution... and take over for him when he retires...

And you can't.

As it should. Taxpayers should be outraged it was even considered

Which is why it will never pass, nor should it.
