With Big Ten $2.4B deal looming, lawmaker asks questions about tax-exempt status of college sports
A lawmaker skeptical of the Big Ten’s proposed $2. 4 billion deal with a private investor has requested a Congressional analysis of the tax consequences for the NCAA, its schools and conferences in the changing college sports industry. “Legitimate questions have been raised about whether it is time to rethink the tax-exempt regime under which college sports currently operates,” Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., wrote in a letter Monday to the head of the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation. Last month, Cantwell sent a letter to Big Ten leaders warning that deals with private investors could have negative consequences, including impacting the schools’ tax-exempt status. Her letter Monday asked for a more detailed look at how a number of changes impacting college sports could impact the longstanding tax-exempt standing held by those who oversee college athletics. Among the questions from Cantwell, who is the ranking member on the Senate committee that oversees college sports, were: Whether Congress should consider rewriting tax rules for name, image and likeness collectives that work with schools to provide payments to players. She cited other analysis that has determined collectives don’t qualify as tax-exempt organizations. If there were measures Congress should consider “with respect to addressing excessive compensation for coaches” and the size of their buyouts. The tax implications for athletes if they are classified as employees or independent contractors. The timing comes at a key moment for the Big Ten, which is facing resistance from the universities of Michigan and Southern California over a proposed $2. 4 billion deal that would break off the league’s media rights and other properties and place them in a separate business that could negotiate deals through 2046. Among the reservations Michigan and USC leaders have expressed about the deal are an uneven distribution of the funds from the deal and the overall impact of joining with a private investor. “We greatly value our membership in the Big Ten Conference and understand and respect the larger landscape,” USC athletic director Jennifer Cohen wrote in letter to boosters last week. “But we also recognize the power of the USC brand is far-reaching, deeply engaging, and incredibly valuable, and we will always fight first for what’s best for USC.” In her letter last month to the Big Ten leaders, Cantwell spelled out the stakes of selling part of the conference’s media rights. “Your university’s media revenues currently are not taxed because they are considered ‘substantially related to’ your tax-exempt purpose,” she wrote. “However, when a private, for-profit investor holds a stake in those revenues it raises questions whether the revenue loses its connection to your institution’s educational purpose.” ___ AP college sports:.

Florida Supreme Court justice resigning to take job at UF
TALLAHASSEE The longest-serving current member of the Florida Supreme Court, Justice Charles Canady, is leaving the bench to join the University of Florida as director of the Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education. Canady whose wife, state Rep. Jennifer Canady, is in line to become state House speaker in 2028 announced his departure Monday, calling it a “great privilege to serve the people of Florida as a justice” for the past 17 years. “I will always deeply value my years on the court. But the time has come to move on to another position of public service,” Canady, 71, said in the statement, adding that he will begin as director and a tenured professor at the Hamilton School in 2026. Canady’s departure will give Gov. Ron DeSantis who has appointed five of the seven current justices an opportunity to name a replacement. Canady was appointed in August 2008 by then-Gov. Charlie Crist, who months later appointed Justice Jorge Labarga. Canady, who served as chief justice three times, is a Lakeland native and former lawmaker. Canady served in the state House from 1984 until 1990 and was elected to the U. S. House of Representatives in 1992. He served four terms in Congress before deciding not to seek reelection in 2000, after promising not to serve more than eight years. He returned to Florida and joined former Gov. Jeb Bush’s administration as general counsel. Bush appointed Canady to the 2nd District Court of Appeal, where he worked until Crist tapped him for the Supreme Court. Crist at the time was a Republican but later became a Democrat. For years, Canady and other conservatives frequently dissented on what was a liberal-leaning court. But that changed with DeSantis’ conservative remake of the court that started in 2019, after the mandatory retirements of former Justices Barbara Pariente, Peggy Quince and R. Fred Lewis. As a lawmaker, Canady earned a reputation as a conservative, including as an outspoken opponent of abortion. Canady is even credited with coining the politically charged term “partial birth abortion” and writing the original legislation that attempted to ban the practice while he was in Congress. Canady also was a key player in one of the most partisan moments in modern American history, helping prosecute former President Bill Clinton during the president’s 1999 impeachment trial. Canady’s wife, Jennifer, was elected to the state House in 2022 and is on track to become speaker after the 2028 elections. Charles Canady was born into a politically connected Polk County family his father, Charles E. Canady, was a longtime aide to the late Sen. and Gov. Lawton Chiles. Canady’s appointment to the Hamilton School will fulfill an old flirtation of pursuing a career in academia, which he abandoned after attending law school. “I had an interest in political science and I thought about pursuing an academic career in that arena, but I didn’t quite have the passion for that that I thought would be necessary to do that. The law seemed to be always what I came back to,” Canady told The News Service of Florida in a 2010 interview in advance of his first stint as chief justice. “And I’m very glad that I did. I have never one day in my life as a lawyer regretted my decision to become a lawyer.” At the time, Canady said his political past had not shaped his outlook as a judge but might have given him a particularly strong appreciation for the separation of powers. “My approach to deciding cases is I look at the law, I look at the facts and I do my best to apply the law to the facts and make a decision based on the law and the facts,” he said. Canady will be able to flex his conservative credentials at the Hamilton School, which is part of Republican state leaders’ efforts to replace such things as diversity, equity and inclusion efforts with more traditional instruction. The school is “leading a higher education revolution,” according to its website. “Now more than ever, the world needs critical thinkers filled with fresh ideas and the courage to ask bigger questions. At the Hamilton School, we prepare you to think deeply, explore widely, speak with conviction, and lead with purpose,” the website says. “Our world-class researchers, who are just as passionate about mentoring students, teach the ideas and habits of thought that founded our country and sustain our free society.”.

Adolphus Holiday Tea Feels Festive & Reels in the Season’s Magic
Every year, Dallas marks the start of the festive season with a handful of beloved traditions, but few feel as transportive-or as indulgent-as holiday tea at the French-inspired restaurant inside The Adolphus. It’s the kind of experience that doesn’t just celebrate the season; it wraps you up in it. Think flickering light, soft seasonal music, ornate décor, and an unmistakable sense that you’ve stepped into a world where time slows down and pleasure becomes the priority. This year’s tea service is priced at $85 for adults and $35 for kids, and the value is apparent the moment the first tiered tray arrives. The three-course menu is deliberately paced and beautifully presented, beginning with savory bites that lean more toward refined indulgence than polite finger food. Expect warm, buttery pastry textures against cool, elegant fillings-things like herb-rich chicken or smoked fish salads, delicate tartlets, and tiny sandwiches that reveal more complexity than their size suggests. Every flavor is balanced, every bite intentional. From there, the scones arrive like little gifts. Freshly baked and still warm, they strike that sweet-spot texture between crumbly and tender. They’re served with rich accompaniments-jam, cream, maybe even a seasonal butter-each one bringing its own quiet joy. And then, of course, the pastries. This is where the French influence sings: jewel-like sweets with glossy finishes, gold dust, layers upon layers of technique, and playful holiday notes. It’s the kind of final course where you linger, nibbling slowly so the moment doesn’t end too soon. The tea pairings elevate everything. Guests receive two artisan teas from Zatki, chosen specifically to complement the seasonal menu. One leans warm and nostalgic with spice or floral depth; the other is lighter, aromatic, and refreshing between bites. Alongside the tea comes a complimentary glass of champagne (or a non-alcoholic sparkling option), which somehow makes the whole afternoon feel like a toast to yourself. Even the small details-like discounted valet and the duo of hand-painted Kate Weiser bonbons you take home-add to the sense of thoughtful luxury. But what truly makes this tea iconic is the atmosphere. During the holidays, The Adolphus transforms into a storybook version of itself-glimmering trees, velvet textures, soft gold lighting, and a lively hum of people celebrating traditions old and new. Families dress up, friends laugh over shared pastries, and the air has that unmistakable festive magnetism. It’s elegant, but never stuffy; polished, but warm.

EXCLUSIVE: Dolly Parton’s Health Battle Sparks Fears for Country Icon, 79 — as Stars Continue to Rally Around Her After Canceling Las Vegas Gigs
Nov. 8 2025, Published 9:00 a.m. ET Dolly Parton has been forced to cancel concerts as she prepares for medical procedures – and RadarOnline.com can reveal loved ones are furiously working 9 to 5 to bolster her amid fears of losing the country legend. Sources said the 79-year-old performer has been flooded with support from both famous faces and fans, as well as her nearest and dearest. The flurry of attention comes as the Jolene songbird pulled the plug on her upcoming six-show Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, as doctors demanded she deal with a potentially deadly medical crisis that has forced her to stay resting at her sprawling mansion in Nashville, Tennessee. Dolly’s Support System An insider said: “Dolly’s been a rock for the likes of Reba [McEntire], Kelly [Clarkson] and so many others and they want to be there for Dolly, too. “They’re checking in, sending care packages and notes, and telling her they’re here to help with anything she needs. Whether it be a hug or a talk, all she needs to do is ask. “Dolly appreciates their comforting words. She’s leaning on them more than ever, especially with her husband, Carl [Dean], gone.” Meanwhile, pals are secretly worried about losing the beloved Queen of Country. Dolly’s Tough Few Months “Behind the scenes, her friends are extremely upset to hear she’s having these health issues,” added the insider. “She’s never been this vulnerable. Dolly always managed to avoid things like this but now they’re seeing she’s human and hoping and praying she’ll pull through.” As RadarOnline.com reported, Parton has been dealt a rough deck of cards this year, losing her hubby of nearly 59 years, Dean, in March. She’s also been suffering from kidney stone issues, which she admitted were causing her a “lot of problems” and preventing her from traveling. Pushing Back Show Dates To Focus On Healing RadarOnline.com previously reported how she threw herself into work to stay busy, but friends were worried she was stretching herself too thin and on the verge of burnout. She’s now moved her Las Vegas shows set for the Christmas period to September 2026. “I’ve been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures,” Parton told fans.
