Foreign Players Cannot Play for Pay

Here's a sports agent explanation of paying foreign athletes.
International Student-Athletes: Navigating Compliance Challenges

Most international college athletes are in the U.S. on F-1 student visas, which impose strict limitations on employment:

• Full-time enrollment is required
• Off-campus employment is mostly prohibited unless it directly relates to their studies
• Paid activities, including NIL or revenue sharing, may be classified as “employment” and risk visa status

Violating these rules by earning unauthorized income can result in a visa termination and require the athlete to leave the U.S. within 30 days.

Heard this is how they got the 1 ISU player back out of the portal.

Believe this gets circumvented as they get paid for activities in their home country.
Camps, Meals on Wheels, Habitat for Humanity, going to hospitals, etc etc. Basically the same stuff they do here.
I know it makes it harder to do during the season as they are here (US) so don't know how they work that out. pre/post season.

Interesting. Especially in light of these facts: A woman named Melanija Knavs entered the US from Slovenia in 1996 on a visitor visa. Reports based on documents from her early modeling career suggest that the woman, now known as Melania Trump, was paid for 10 modeling jobs in the U.S. in 1996 before obtaining the proper work visa. She then was awarded a genius grant, designated for immigrants who possess nationally and internationally accalimed credentials in fields that would benefit the United States, such as international law, technology, medicine, and science, not nude modeling. And yet she was never deported and, instead, obtained a green card in 2001 and became a U.S. citizen in 2006 . . . but her status is illegal. She should have been deported for working illegally on a tourist visa. Instead, her connections with Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Drumpf (now known as Donald Trump) allowed her to break the law and get away with it.

But yah, let's make sure other people, including college athletes, follow the law. LOL

International players are getting paid just like everyone else.
How hard is it for them to do the work in another country?

Anyone who things these guys like all the Slavs at Illinois aren't getting paid, has their head in the sand......

So the private collective pays the kids and not the school.

just slide money around, as long as the collective has the money.

the kid from Chicago gets $2 million from the school.

the kid from Europe gets $2 million from the privately funded collective.

Executive order aims to limit NCAA athletes to 5 years, 1 transfer

An executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Friday aims to limit NCAA athletes to a five-year playing window and how often they can transfer between schools.

It goes both ways.

See you have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Not really appropriate here, however.
