UIL/NCAA Violation ?

In a word.....YES

I guess my son will have to get a different summer job.

Subchapter M. Eligibility
Section 441: Amateur Athletic Status
Subsection (a): NOT AN AMATEUR

For purposes of competing in an athletic contest, a student in grades 9-12 is not an amateur if that individual, within the preceding 12 months received money or other valuable consideration for teaching or participating in a League sponsored school sport or received valuable consideration for allowing his or her name to be used in promoting a product, plan or service related to a League contest or accepted money or other valuable consideration from school booster club funds for any non-school purpose. It is a violation of the athletic amateur rule for parents of student athletes to accept tickets to athletic contests where their children are participating. It is also a violation for parents of student athletes to accept free pass gate admission to athletic contests where their children are participating unless they are at the contest in another capacity, i.e., if the parent is an employee of the school or a board member, or working at a concession booth, etc. (See Official Interpretations #11 and 12, Appendix I.)

So if you got in free to your kids high school baseball game and you don't fall under the exceptions if violates your kid's amateur status? Glad I've paid for every game.

Also means no jumping over the outfield wall, ala Domingo Ayala!
