April is the month when the University of Wisconsin’s athletic department, apparently oblivious that folks have to pay their income taxes, demands that its football and basketball fans fork over their Badger Fund bucks if they want to keep their seats for another year.
….No one forces people to open their wallets to the athletic department, of course. It’s a choice that college sports fans make voluntarily. You would think, though, that since loyal fans now pay the big bucks, they’d get a little consideration for doing so. But you would be wrong.
