Idiot Recruits trying to Charge for Interviews

They don't have to take the calls. If its that big of a nuisance then just request they stop calling. In reality, a rating service is very immaterial to the rest of their life.

The media won't stop calling regardless of if they don't pickup or request they don't call.

The NCAA does regulate summer jobs at McDonalds.

They sure do, remember Rhett Bomar getting $15,000 for washing a car?

Reporters have a job to do. But if you make it clear you're not going to talk, they get the point eventually. Or you ask a parent/coach/whoever to deal with media. Plenty of recruits don't talk much.

That might be ok. A football player can be drafted in the MLB draft and keep the signing bonus and then play football.

You can't receive money for a sport you will play in college and you can't receive endorsement money. Signing a contract for another sport would usually be ok. Such as playing baseball professionally doesn't preclude you from being on scholarship for football.

Is it limited to the big 4 leagues, because it seems like a loophole could be found with that. What if a billionaire alum from x-university owns a semi-pro hockey team, and "signs" multiple football prospects to a "contract" that has a signing bonus of say, $25 k, and they don't end up playing hockey for obvious reasons, but keep the bonus?
