What benefits are allowed by NCAA?

[softballphreak]

Are there any regulations concerning players being granted "scholarships", equipment, uniforms, expenses, etc., when playing TB? Or any ball for that matter?

No agenda here, just have been curious from time to time when I hear about some players struggling to pay fees while others don't pay anything.

No, just like being on scholarship to a high school.

Nope. You know those 3 kids that sit the bench most of the time? They're usually funding three infielders that play for free.

Had to laught at that 1, so true. One other thing that happens in the organizations is the funds the younger team earns gets used by the older ones.

I do wonder Starsnuffer have you always been the same person with this username? For the longest time until recently I always thought you were a woman. Of late your posts have been quite different. Not saying that's a bad thing.

So, theoretically, a team could buy a player a car to join? There are no limits?

Assuming its like men's basketball or football there are rules, depending on who is coaching, who is funding, etc. If the TB coach is a booster, there could be a big problem if the player gets free play when everyone else is paying. If not? probably no issue, unless she is cashing in on her "fame." Then again, softball players aren't making money for the NCAA unlike Johnny Manziel (sorry Aggie fans), so she would face some ridiculous inquiry.

When you go to register your dd for the NCAA Clearinghouse they will address this issue. From my best understanding is that as long as the benefits are offered to all the players it is no problem. You can't by the star a car and not the rest.. lol But as long as the uniforms, travel expenses, equipment are for the team and not just certain players there is no violation.
