the forms in question are US non-profit declarations 990-T. The same data was released a second time, minus less than 2% of them. There are a lot of dark corners in the USA non-profit world, in case you don't know it. The vast majority (a million?) of USA 990 non-profits are the sort of small time operation you might expect, but there is a tiger of a long-tail on that one. Many major hospitals and the US Football league NFL, are "non-profit" and would file the same forms.

The US Football league NFL also has an antitrust exemption so is deserving of public scrutiny.

NCAA is predicted to go for antitrust exemptions as well as lobby for legislation to dump the requirement to pay student athletes - all things Baker is expected to do, leveraging his political connections as a former governor and figure in the republican party.
