So, how do you reconcile the statements of colleges paying "scouts" with this NCAA rule:
"13.1.2.8 Talent Scout. An institution may not pay any costs incurred by an athletics talent scout or a representative of its athletics interests in studying or recruiting prospective student-athletes. An institution may not provide any such person a fee or honorarium and thereby claim the person as a staff member entitled to expense money."
I can see volunteers calling a coach; several here have claimed schools acutally hire scouts.
