This is bad of course, but I’m kind of amazed it was only 112k. Given the 330some million citizens, and presumably some more entities that also pay taxes, this is a relatively small number.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
if they wanted to spin off college football to a semi-pro league and let actual students play the game instead of "students" who get private tutors, sleep in a private dorm, have a private cafeteria, take exclusive classes, and generally don't interact with the rest of the student body, I would support this movement.
Accenture is the contractor responsible.

Any time I start to feel that Impostor Syndrome creeping in, I need to remind myself that there's someone who's working at Accenture probably earning 2x or 3x what I am, who gets to fuck up big not once but _twice_ doing the same wrong thing.
So the Accenture engineer probably gets paid a lot less than you.
Edit: According to Wikipedia, yes:
> In 2015, the company had about 150,000 employees in India,[31] 48,000 in the US,[32] and 50,000 in the Philippines.[33]
Edit2: s/outsource/offshore, thanks. What I intended was: companies hire Accenture to outsource their development work to third-world countries.
I'm less concerned about the occasional unintentional f'up, and much more concerned about the targeted and politically motivated intentional leaking of information.
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 lea…
This is not true now, and arguably never was (at least not with the intention it's generally applied).
The NFL relinquished its tax exempt status in 2015, but even before that the NFL was not a 501(c)(3) but a 501(c)(6) (a trade organization) -- for interests of fairness (proven more necessary recently by actions of the Washington Commanders) the NFL collected ticket moneys and broadcast earnings and then distributed the money to the teams, where it was taxed. Without that, they'd have been taxed on the collection and on the disbursement, which would have meant that the teams were taxed twice.
There are, to my opinion anyway, better reasons to be mad at the NFL than as a tax dodge, because they weren't ever particularly good at meeting the definition.
