As soon as this tax law provision seemed inevitable, letters went out to court side seat holders (among others) "offering the opportunity" to donate in 2017 to secure the right to purchase tickets for next season (and to get a tax deduction while it was still available).

And OrangeXtreme, who used my tickets on Tuesday night, told me there was a "reminder notice" on the seats.

"Tax law experts long have criticized the college athletics donation deductions as unfair, and essentially giving a federal subsidy to wealthy college sports fans for their season tickets. "
