Amateurs can't be paid. It's in NCAA rules as far as how USA cards can be made, they are a loophole.

It is still legal though. NCAA is not the law.
seitas said:If you don't accept scholarship you can have a job. Greg Anthony gave up his scholarship at UNLV his senior year to start a t-shirt business out of his apartment. The NCAA tried to 'persuade' him to sever his business but he refused and they didn't have a standing rule to hold him to. It may have changed since then but I do believe that the NCAA cannot stop players without scholarships from working. Every summer college baseball players play in independent leagues throughout the nation and they get jobs that they really dont even have to show up for and get paid pretty nice for college kids.

For college football and basketball players there are limits I believe on what they can make, how much they can work, etc.

It is really low too. I want to say you can only make $2500 in a year or something like that. And the workload depends on your sport and how demanding that is. I know that you are only allowed 20 hours per week practice time (for sports) and the amount of time you have to work a job is determined by how many hours a week you are practicing. So sports like Football probably leave no time for a job.

What would be the point of a 16-year old, with virtually no income, accepting a charitable donation in their name to be used as a tax write-off?
I'm willing to bet not one USA ballplayer itemizes on their taxes. LOL!

FWIW, I worked at McAlisters deli in the summer as a scholarship football player.

It's a hard rule to enforce. Did anyone say anything to you about working and having a scholarship?
