Just saw on ESPN.com an article about the site FanAngel.com which allows fans to pay players to stay in school. They don't receive the $ until after they complete their eligibility so it doesn't violate NCAA rules. If they don't stay in school, the $ is refunded.

Well, I just went to it to check it out and they're giving a free $20 to the first 1000 signed up. So I've got $10 headed to Mickey and Martin when they stay.

Pretty ridiculous premise, but it wasn't my money in the first place.

Here's the LINK to the ESPN article.

yeah i think offering a player money is a violation of NCAA rules, whether you give him physically give him the money after he graduates or not.

Thats waaaaaay too big of a loophole.

There is no way that it's not a violation just because they don't receive the money while in school.

If that were the case, schools could just open an escrow account and give it to them when they leave.
