For all the years i have been coaching i have yet to figure outwhy the heck the NCAA stops kids from recieving clothes, or food money, or rent money as a gift.
But you have teams like Friends of hoop that are allowed to have nike give his players free shoes, warm ups and uniforms.
Nike also pays there travel expenses to and from tournaments and there lodging.
Someone please tell me how this is fair ?
High school kids can recieve freebies but college athletes cant.
FOH coaches go to high school games all year long recruiting players from other programs. How can we keep our players when we cant compete with the gifts he is giving and the opportunities that his players get that other players dont?
In my opinion any company that can benefit off the future success of a player should not be allowed. It is a conflict of interest.
