I am not in favor of the NCAA allowing this. Her invite to be on the show is a direct result of her fame as a college player. There can be no argument about that point of fact. No way should she be eligible to be paid winnings from the show based on the NCAA rules. Even if she were to decline winnings (prizes, gifts or money), she will still be benefiting from enhanced name recognition and a further expansion of her marketability which can be parlayed into higher income after college basketball. There is & should be a bright line between amateur & professional sports. Every individual knows the rules when choosing to play college sports. Those who are pushing to blur the lines are damaging college athletics. It makes me sad to think Arike could part of that.
