re: SIAP, but what incentive is there to be a TAF member anymore if you're not a $100K donor?

lol…of course they would if a fan. For one main reason: The tax write off. I’d do it if I lived closer.

Laughable. You think someone making $250k is dropping 10% on TAF. Just not happening. House, cars, retirement savings, kids’ schools, life. They aren’t dropping 2k/month on TAF. And for the average Joe on a salary, “tax write-offs” aren’t what they used to be since doubling the standard deduction.

Now over a 5 year period, that might be doable for someone making 250k, but that’s still quite the commitment. Typical people don’t donate thousands to sports for nothing in return, so there is some expectation to get more “value” if you donate $5k instead of $100. As others have said, tickets are plentiful and the required donation to get the same number of points just went up 7.5x…so overall, donors are getting less personal value for their dollar.
