College football players can now get paid for coaching at camps

A veteran director of football operations in college football told CoachingSearch.com today that the NCAA has yet to inform institutions about the payment policies.

At the moment, coaches suspect that the compensation will be very similar to the way in which high school coaches are typically paid for working camps – either hourly or by the camp session.

No colleges will be allowed to advertise that a star player will be serving as an instructor during a summer camp. For example, if Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston were to serve as part of the staff for Jimbo Fisher’s football camp, the Seminoles staff is prohibited from advertising that Winston will be present and/or coaching a group of quarterbacks.

The player interaction at summer camp could be an enticing factor for some programs.

At Oregon, Marcus Mariota could be instructing quarterbacks.

At Alabama, Amari Cooper could be instructing wide receivers.

At Baylor, Bryce Petty could be instructing quarterbacks.

At UCLA, Brett Hundley could be instructing quarterbacks.

At Clemson, Vic Beasley could be instructing defensive ends.

It will be interesting to see how each college staff takes advantage of the new rule.
Will coaches lean more towards inviting players that are in the most difficult financial stress to work camps?

Will coaches choose the star players to work the camps?

Will staffs choose to utilize a large number of players, so that prospects can get a feel for the type of personalities on the current roster?

You can bet this will be a topic of conversation for coaching staffs in the next couple of weeks.
