Employment
The NCAA's rules and regulations allow student-athletes to receive earnings from legitimate employment during the academic year. Before the student-athlete is allowed to work, a written statement must be signed by the employer, student-athlete, and the compliance department stating:
- Compensation may not include any value the student-athlete has to the employer due to the student-athlete's fame or reputation.
- The student-athlete will be paid only for work actually performed.
- The student-athlete will be paid at a fair market value equal to that for other similar positions in the immediate area of employment.
- Do not employ a prospect prior to the completion of the prospect's senior year in high school.
- Do not employ a currently enrolled student-athlete during the academic year without written permission from the athletic department.
- Do not provide transportation to and from work for student-athlete employees unless such transportation is provided to all employees.
