My complete guess is it is required by the IRS because the ICAA must operate as a for-profit company, where the University would operate as a 501(c) of some sort (maybe a 3?). And my second guess would be that the University wholly owns the private company, but each files taxes separately. I guess I could look that up and see if it's true.
If that hunch is correct, the ICAA would want to maximize all the expenses they can to offset income from ticket sales by writing a check for full tuition, etc. If that's true then it would also explain hoopsnuts' dilemma:
If you came from out of state, the University wanted out of state money from the athletic department. Never made sense to me, but hey who said it had to make sense.
Am I all wet here?
