Bylaw 12.4.2.1 Fee-for-Lesson Instruction:

Quote:A student-athlete may receive compensation for teaching or coaching sport skills or techniques in his or her sport on a fee-for-lesson basis, provided:

...(e) The student-athlete does not use his or her name, picture or appearance to promote or advertise the availability of fee-for-lesson sessions.

However, it is also difficult for them to for example for the "white sports":

1. Teach swim lessons at a pool due to their schedule
2. Teach golf lessons due to their schedule and the possible cost of the range, as it is like renting a barber chair

It is not cost-effective. They cannot make money "teaching lessons" inside the campus rec center like a music major knows it is not cost-effective to give piano lessons in the Student Union.

All I know is, even if college athletes have everything needed to privately teach at the ready, they cannot -- regardless of their sport -- get a foot in that money-making door if they cannot advertise that they, themselves, are offering lessons in the first place. I mean, what in the actual frick? That is straight up bizarre. And beyond controlling. That's rubbing their noses in it!

To paraphrase a certain TV show, the NCAA can park its fat rear on my mid-digit and swivel till it squeals like pigs on honeymoon.
