And would want to that? The Treasury Department! There are millions changing hands that go as unreported taxes on the earning end, and taxable deductions on the cheating/paying end. And that is both corporate and private entities involved. We are talking about a nice chunk of change nationally. And the government is woefully in debt. So they have the motive, the means, and the justification to do so.
Oh I agree, wouldn't shock me at all if they find a way to tax these revenues. I'm just saying I don't think that would necessarily stop cheating with regard to paying players.
Well, it would make arresting them for cheating a cut and dried issue.

You could be right about that.
They'd have to dedicate a lot of resources to enforcement though. I think they'd probably just take their money from the revenues on the books and leave whatever happens under the table between players and boosters alone, but I don't know.
But yeah, the fear of getting hammered by the Feds would keep a lot of people straight.
