"Scholarship" tournaments and NCAA sports
« on: December 24, 2007, 10:37:17 AM »
Does anyone know or know where to find info on scholarship tournaments(including adult tourneys where the smart system is used) and their affect (if any) on eligibility in other NCAA sports besides bowling?
Thanks, Joe

I don't believe bowling $$ or scholarships would have any affect on other NCAA sport eligibility. There was a professional baseball player who played NCAA football.

I believe this is a "girls" problem as stated on another post. Article 9 allows girls bowling to be NCAA....falls into different criteria than "boys", being club sport. USBC advises to check individual schools for their policies. They told me this when inquiring about PBA league and youth eligibility.

I could be wrong but I believe there are two sanctioning bodies for women's bowling in college, one being the NCAA and the other being the Intercollegiate something or other. The schools which do not fall under NCAA may not follow their rules. You probably shold check with a coach from the school or the athletic director to make sure.

this has been discussed before, the creation of the smart fund was to make sure high school kids maintained athletic elegibilty on the college level.  I know of several kids who had 5-6k in snart money but got rides in other sports and had to forfeit the smart money.  If a student gets a ride athletically, I do not think they can use their smart money, but at the schools where it is not a ncaa sanctioned sport the rules maybe different as they do offer some sort of partial scholarship for this non ncaa sport

Jeremy Bloom went pro in skiing and was immediately banned from NCAA football.  He was drafted by the Eagles a couple years ago after missing two years of college as a punt returner.  He was cut a few weeks into the season and since has done nothing in football OR skiing.  He should have stuck with skiing.

But his banning didn't have anything to do with competing as a professional in skiing.  It was because of his endorsements.  He could have continued as a professional skier and a college football player had he not taken money for endorsements.
