Given the renewed push behind giving players a 'stipend', at what point does the Government/IRS get involved? Everything I know about law or taxes I learned by watching TV...so basically nothing. But I have to think that if universities start giving players money on top of the scholarships, then the IRS will have to get involved and start taxing that 'compensation'. And are universities then considered 'employers' for the players they are paying and have to provide other benefits as well?
I am probably just over-thinking this (I was bored on the train on the way to work this morning). But it got me thinking.
