If someone set up acct to raise funds, could that affect NCAA eligibility in the future?
However there are 'crowdfunding' sites that allow the site to be private, and only visible to those you send it to, rather than truly public. So let's say I have family all across the country and connect with them all on facebook and give them a link to help out with little Suzie's gymnastics, is that the same?
I agree that gofundmes for expensive club sports are in poor taste. I actually totally understand why it could affect NCAA eligibility - you are receiving money from others to cover costs for participation in your sport. Very similar to sponsor pro-athlete situation IMO.
We have a FB friend that does this. The wording of the site would be very misleading to anyone outside of gymnastics - you'd get the impression that she has a good shot of making the national team. Her daughter is very good and I don't mean to insult her talent by saying this, but there are at least 1000 girls at her level, and the national team is very, very small.The mom of a girl at dd's former gym set one up for her and posts the link on her Facebook page frequently. Since I'm assuming that not all of her 1,000 + Facebook friends are family, I find this in poor taste.
