Did A&M get a list of questions after Jimbo’s contract?
A&M didn’t get one, Alabama didn’t get one, Michigan St didn’t get one, OSU didn’t get one, Ga didn’t get one, and Clemson didn’t get one. They targeted LSU and USC. This is when Tate earns his money.

Many problems with this. Admittedly, I have not seen the correspondence.
USC is a tax-exempt organization. Fair questions, but long tradition supports athletics being a "furthering" if not an "accomplishing" exempt activity.
LSU, being public, is part of the state. It is not taxed (other than on unrelated business taxable income) because of IRC section 115, not 501. Thus the questions do not make sense.
Further, Congress has no authority to audit entities: that is the purview of the Treasury/IRS/Executive.
I have no problem with the excises as potentially applied to USC; however, the constitutionality of the federal government taxing a state function is doubtful. That is under serious consideration relating to "parking" allowances provided state and religious employees (similar constitutional issues).
The Congressman needs better-prepared staff. Someone who is a tax lawyer specializing in tax exempt organizations would be a good start. If news reports are accurate, this was not written by someone who is expert in the area.
Let me add: I do not know who pays what to whom. But, my comments apply to activities by LSU and paid by LSU. Contrary to what many have said herein, activities by and paid for by a separate entity (which is likely tax-exempt) raise some issues that may need to be addressed. But, this should be directed to such separate entities, not to the President of LSU.

I would address the letter pointing out a federal government that does not protect the Southern border allowing 2 million illegal entries in 12 months and 12 months and 30 trillion dollars of debt it has no standing whatsoever to ask a particular University about compensation ....compensation to a head coach that frankly is subsidized by alumni .... in short frick off.

I just sent an email to this POS. Y'all should do the same.

Politicians need to F..K off. Worry about the border and inflation, to start.

Honestly it isn't any of his business. Hopefully this is what Tate tells him.

fricking laughable that anyone in congress would question spending especially when 90% of his salary is not even paid by the university.
These people need to go.

The government has begun it’s campaign to torpedo college football. Unfortunately we are in the crosshairs

I suppose this Congressman is an absolutely stellar tax exempt organizations attorney and knows all of the intricacies and nuances on the subject, right? Or, he just wanted to see his name on the news.

Congress has 0 authority to do anything about any aspect of education. If anyone is interested, read Article II of the holy Constitution.

"How do the football and men’s basketball programs “contribute to the university’s educational mission (other than the production of income)?”
How do you expect to have Women's sports if those two sports aren't there to subsidize the monetary losers. Now my question for you Congressman, why do you want to take away all the women's sports putting the school afoul of Title IX requirements.

"Why should the Federal government subsidize the university’s athletics programs and escalating coaches’ salaries and other non-cash benefits?"
There isn't one $ of federal funding going towards paying the athletic salaries of those coaches.

Politicians just attempting to blow up something that is a part of the fabric of southern culture. They are a cancer intent on reducing American society to rubble.
