Reply to "BEWARE - don't risk your amateur status with NCAA!"

"3) Do the (club's name was here) provide any of the following for any member of the team:
a. Meals (before or after games)
b. Transportation (to/from away games)
c. Lodging (at away games)
d. Medical insurance
e. Stipend (for food or gas)
f. Medical treatment at a contest"

I infer that you think that it may be impermissible to provde these to any of your team members. Actually, these (excepting e. Stipend) are specifically cited on the list of items which qualify as necessary expenses. (12.02.4) A violation would only occur if the team provided more than the actual expense.

By the way, if a team does provide more than actual expenses, the eligibility of the entire team would be in jeopardy, not just the player(s) who received excessive benefits. That's because the team is classified as professional if it "pays" any member of the team.
