Let's say a big time USC player is asked to play a football player in a movie, are they allowed to do it and stay eligible?

I would think something would be wrong with that

But if he's just acting to act I think it would be fine

It seems like as long as he is not playing himself in the movie it should be ok but I'm sure the NCAA will find a way to frick it up.

It couldn't be A big time athlete. For example no way could Lamar Jackson play in a big box office movie. But if Sara Lue from the woman's tennis team decided to play in some random local low budget movie. I doubt anyone bats an eye.

Does it improve the quality of life of the athlete?

If "Yes", then it's not permitted.

NCAA just tweeted out something recently, not sure if they made changes to rules on how players can make money, outside of NCAA sports.

But it looked like the tweet said, "You can make $$, as long as it had nothing to do with ur sports/s".

So a football player in a movie about football would be a violation.

Northwestern RB Darnell Autry was a theater major and still had to sue the NCAA in the mid-1990s just to be able to have a small unpaid role in a movie.
