Fundraising and NCAA Amateurism Rules

• Q If my parents and I raise funds to cover the
  cost of activities with my amateur sports club,
  may the entire amount of money we raise go toward
  my personal account?
• A No, money raised by a prospect and his or her
  relatives may not be earmarked for use by that
  prospect only. Doing so would jeopardize the
  prospects amateur status. All money raised by a
  prospect and any individual associated with that
  student-athlete must be contributed to the local
  sports clubs general account to be used by all
  members of the team. The club, at its discretion,
  can decide where to spend those funds.
