I see teams in this forum actively promoting a promise of no participation fees and offering to pay for hotel stays and transportation cost for players. Can anyone tell me if accepting the hundreds if not thousands of dollars in valuable services being offered here threatens a player's future NCAA eligibility or if any of it could be considered a form of income by the IRS and be subject to taxation? Are there any limits on how much a player can receive from such entities?

If you're referring to high school age travel team fees and related transportation/accommodation expense, you can forget the NCAA's concern about that. If a travel team is sufficiently funded to offer that to its players, fine.

The same is true for college-level summer teams. The NCAA requires that players pay a nominal fee for room and board; but, their transportation to and from home and to all games is routinely paid for by the teams if they can afford it.

I've never been much of a fisherman Krak. That bigger fish to fry has eluded me so far. Yup, he's the one that got away.

I've been trying to cast my line into the water for hours now, but no luck. Since the mouse skittered away under the ice machine I really haven't had anything good to use as bait. Can anyone give me a Winkelman© tip?




I'll keep trying and keep you posted Krak..."until then, hey...good fishing!"
