This thread has taken a turn and moved into the "dumb" category when the idea that the athletes might actually earn less money if their compensation (Salaries, meal money, scholarships, etc) were taxed fully.

Of course wages are going to be taxed and of course that would include Social Security tax.

But if you were transferred to a higher tax location with a small increase in salary such that you would be making less net, what would you do?

Ask for more money, right?

So the Universities would have to set wages at a high enough level so that the athlete would have a satisfactory amount after taxes.

Then, of course, the whole conversation will shift into differential State taxes and then differential cost of living. Why should an athlete in high tax, high cost of living New York, be paid the same as an athlete living in lower cost (Taxes and Cost of Living) Texas?

This seems like such a simple concept at first glance. But then as you start to peel the onion, levels and levels of complexity are exposed.
