As I understand, the U.S. Senior National team members recieve a training stipend of 2k$/month.
Does this stipend affect NCAA eligibility because of amateurism rules?
My dd recently qualified for the Colombian junior national team, and is eligibile for a monthly stipend, which isn't much (won't even pay 1/4th of her monthly gym tuition), but every bit helps.
However, I don't want to jeopardize NCAA eligibility.
I read what I could find on the NCAA Eligibility site, but it seems the specific wording used can be 'lawyered' to mean one thing or another.
Anyone with specific, sure knowledge about this?
If not, I'll try and get NCAA eligibility on the phone. I don't want to accept something that jeopardizes eligibility, and neither does dd.
thanks!
