Student athletes taking gifts?

Question

When dose it become illigal or against the rule for student athletes to take gifts and money. Also who can't give them gifts?

Answer 1

It is against NCAA rules to give a student athlete any gifts (including meals) beyond one visit and to fraternize with them (soliciting phone calls, etc) in attempts to recruit them to come to a University.

Any member of a coaching staff/administration/athletic office is not allowed to contribute to this.

Answer 2

Are you talking about sponsership because i am pretty sure that happens to most student athletes that are good - i have a couple of b-ball friends and they are sponsered by nike to wear their brand so they give them gifts cause they are doing it.

Answer 3

"When does it become illegal or against the rules for student athletes to take gifts and money. Also who can't give them gifts?

I don't recall it being illegal. It is pretty creepy if you get it from a teacher though. Fans and students are always okay.

Check your school rules and TOS, and ask your principal, if he isn't helpful ask your counselor or school supervisor.
