Want to Play Don’t Accept Pay Post Discussion

Post Discussion: Want to Play, Don’t Accept Pay

In the 1980’s the New York Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) rescinded its “outside competition” rules allowing students to compete in their sport of choice both for their local high school and any private club team that the student chooses. However, there is not uniformity among the states as to this rule. For example, the Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) explicitly bars outside competition from occurring, except for swimming and diving.

There is some uniformity among states on the issue of amateurism. Generally, state associations bar, or limit, awards or monetary compensation being provided to high school athletes. However, this also may be one of the most difficult rules to enforce. Imagine one of your student athletes goes to a restaurant and a spectator sees them there, comes up to them to congratulate them on a great game yesterday, and buys their dinner, who is ever going to know? The problem is your student athlete likely doesn’t know if a reporter is in the booth behind them, or an administrator at a rival high school, or even a representative from the state athletic association. This rule may be one that is generally easy to break, but the risk is also high due to the severe consequences of noncompliance.

For the discussion this week, please answer each of the following questions regarding the NYSPHSAA’s amateurism policy:

  • Is the amateurism policy sufficiently clear?
  • Is any portion of the rule ambiguous, or subject to multiple reasonable interpretations?
  • What is the most effective means of preventing your student athletes from accepting these extra benefits? Why?
  • Using the language of the rule, please invent your own hypothetical situation, for your classmates to consider, about a student-athlete that may have violated the amateurism rule (the trickier the better).
