FILE - Texas players sing "The Eyes Of Texas," after defeating Kansas State 22-17 in an NCAA college football game in Austin, Texas, on Nov. 26, 2021. The new business world of college athletes getting paid for endorsements has created a rapidly expanding pop-up industry: nonprofits formed to set up athletes with deals that pay them to promote charities. Among the first was Horns With Heart, a nonprofit set up to aid offensive linemen at the University of Texas in 2021. A bill filed Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2022, would eliminate the tax deduction for individuals and for specific contributions that are then paid to athletes for name, image and likeness deals.
