Jeremy Bloom and NCAA

Paper Summary:

Jeremy Bloom, a football player at the University of Colorado, was ruled ineligible to play for the team because he had accepted paid endorsements for professional skiing. The NCAA was the one that made the ruling, and they determined that anyone who is paid for endorsements is not allowed to play in college sports. This paper explains that there is some discussion and dissent as to whether this should be the ruling in cases like Bloom's, since the sport that he received paid endorsements for was distinctly and clearly separate from the sport that he played at the University of Colorado. It shows that there has been much discussion into this issue because there are those that are very serious about whether this ruling was accurate, and there are two sides to the argument, both of which are dealt with in this research.

From the Paper:

"Naturally, this is very important to Jeremy Bloom but there are bigger considerations as well. The ruling that the NCAA has regarding this type of paid endorsement and all of the other rulings that the NCAA has regarding college athletes affect not only Bloom but thousands of individuals that attend college across the United States and play sports as well. Most of these individuals are not affected by this particular ruling because they are not competent in another sport to the point where they are being offered endorsement money for professional things."
