re: NIL and Schollies

There used to be rules like walkons not being allowed to eat at the training table that kept the walkon program from being used as a way to stash high quality players.

Not sure if they are still in effect since the NCAA has been neutered and CFB has largely thrown away any rules about paying players.

At UGA, the walkons eat with everyone else but have to pay out of pocket at the cash register instead of just getting your food and sitting down. So that rule still exists. There was a story this year about one of our lucrative NIL recipients hearing this for the first time and then bought meal plans for all the walk ons so they wouldn't have to pay for lunch.
