 Now, are those contributions tax-deductible? Query. Are they? Not-for-profit? UConn's an educational institution. Even though we're paying for sports, which is really like professional sports, who are we kidding, is it still tax-wise going to stand up to the original purpose and intent of having a tax deduction to fund something that's educational? I'm going to guess the answer is that it's some kind of a tax contribution.
