Contrarian - What does KSHSAA, the governing body of Kasnas school sports, have to do with taxes--or with governing Kansas as a State.

None of my business - but KSHSAA is funded by members - many many members are public schools and their schools administrators, athletic directors, teachers, coaches, are board members. The board members make legislative recommendations on changing Kansas laws pertaining to school athletics and other activities. All of the activities cost money which are funded by Kansas residents as well as KSHSAA which is predominantly funded indirectly by Kansas residents.

Now comparing apples and oranges. The NCAA funded by public and private schools and big business. The KSHSAA is most likely funded by property taxes, sales taxes and income taxes - indirectly of course by member fees. You have to go way back to see the origninal intent of the NCAA - they have strayed a little
away from their original mission. Originally they were for all sports and student athletes - now they lean a lot more towards the revenue sports only.
