参议员Maria Cantwell呼吁国会审查大学体育业的免税地位, Senator Maria Cantwell is calling for a congressional review of college sports' tax-exempt status due to concerns over the Big Ten’s $2.4 billion deal with a private investor. 她请税务联合委员会评估媒体权利销售、NIL集体、高教练工资和潜在的运动员雇员分类如何影响免税所要求的教育任务联系。 She asked the Joint Committee on Taxation to assess how media rights sales, NIL collectives, high coach salaries, and potential athlete employee classification affect the educational mission link required for tax exemption. 十大联盟计划将媒体版权转让给营利性实体，但这引发了密歇根大学和南加州等学校的反对，他们担心收入分配不均和私人控制。 The Big Ten’s plan to transfer media rights to a for-profit entity has drawn pushback from schools like Michigan and Southern California, which worry about unequal revenue distribution and private control. Cantwell警告说,如果体育收入与教育脱钩,商业化可能危及免税地位。 Cantwell warned that commercialization could jeopardize tax-exempt status if athletic revenues become disconnected from education.
