Here's an article that mentions the NCAA's rationale:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaabk/opinion-ncaa-breaks-its-rules-for-dwts-and-thats-progress/ar-AAvRnup?ocid=spartandhp&ffid=gz

But the NCAA found a loophole and is giving Ogunbowale a hand to help her squeeze through it. She can’t do any promotional work for the show, other than announcing she’s on it, because that would capitalize on her “athletics ability.” Any prize money she wins would be the result of her dancing achievements, however, and thus would be hers to keep.

How is this not capitalizing on her sport? Her cast bio spends the whole first paragraph recounting her accomplishments on the court. No one can reasonably think she would have even been invited if not for her hitting the gamers in the F4.


I think it might be because she will be dancing, not playing bball. The bball is what got her noticed, but it is the dancing that will get her paid.

That's not consistent with what the NCAA has done in the past

How is it not consistent? You can't just make a claim like that with nothing to back it up.

Selling their autograph or memorabilia is DIRECTLY tied to the sport. Does the NCAA prohibit them from selling their books (when they used books), dress shoes, dresses, suits, ties, kitchenware, their car, etc?

This seems more like a 'normal' job to me. Yeah, she got the job because of bball, but how is it any different than getting a summer job at Walmart because the hiring manager knew that the person played on the team?

And, hey, even the NCAA can change!!!!! Wink

If the pay hasn't change, the minimum for DWTS is $250,000 is you're the first eliminated.

From a different perspective, assuming Arike's dance partner will be a man, this pairing will serve to reassure viewers that most women athletes are straight. Wink

Do you know how many players have been disciplined by the NCAA for getting jobs because the hiring manager knew who they were? Too many to count.

And how many of those were boosters (or booster-arranged) providing "no-show" jobs to the athlete?

This is a legit job that the NCAA (and world for that matter) will be able to monitor.

Yeah, it's not like any of the DWTS producers went to Notre Dame...

The fact that Pilight mentioned it would lead me to believe it’s true.

It does seem like the NCAA should have told Notre Dame "no"when they asked whether Arike dancing would be permissible. But Notre Dame did the right thing by asking them beforehand. The NCAA may have decided that this publicity for WCBB might, on balance, make it worthwhile for them to allow it.

I would think that if anyone has issue with this decision, they should complain about the NCAA and not complain about Notre Dame. (Thankfully, most posters seem to be complaining about the NCAA's inconsistency and not Notre Dame.)

A quick google showed that the stories and ads for DWTS don't show Arike, unlike the other celebrity contestants. She's getting a one-sentence explanation of who she is, with no photograph. I can't see how that constitutes advertising, recommendation, or promotion. Nor is it providing much value or utility to DWTS...her name is probably the least recognizable of the celebrities.

If ND applied to the NCAA, and the NCAA agreed, or devised guidelines for Arike to follow, like no promotional photographs pre-event, I don't see how either she or ND is at fault.

Notre Dame didn't do anything wrong. Ogunbowale certainly didn't do anything wrong. The issue is the NCAA being full of it.

Agree 100%

The cases of Jeremy Bloom (Olympic Skier who wanted to be a Colorado football player) or Donald De La Haye (UCF Kicker who made money from You Tube videos) were both terrible rulings. This is only terrible from the standpoint that it is completely at odds with its previous position.

People bitch and bitch and bitch that the NCAA a non-evolving organization. That they are 'mean' to athletes getting 4-5 years of free or subsidized education.

When they do try to do something different in favor of an athlete, people bitch and bitch and bitch.

:roll:


The NCAA is an organization with rules. You can choose to follow the rules religiously or follow them with an eye towards reason, appropriateness and in furtherance of its purpose. Unfortunately the NCAA seems to jump back and forth between these two, making their decisions arbitrary and constantly subject to criticism.

This is a perfect example where, if a previous poster is correct, they will allow one player to receive $250,000 as a result of her play, but they won't allow others to keep $5,000 for sinking a half-court shot in a contest and still play. Change the rules (and not just to exclude National TV shows broadcast by Disney) and I have no problem; but this is wrong.

as long as the rules are in flux for certain schools like ND, then its all a sham....they're not even embarrassed about it....

no one can say why transfer rules are favorable to some, and punitive to others...

its almost like the NCAA is laughing in our faces...

you little people...follow the rules....others...wink wink....

I assume you are suggesting the Shepard situation. It's not like she was a unique situation, as some here imply:

Leticia Romero (From KSU as Freshman in 2013-14 to FSU as sophomore in 2014-15)
Chantrice White (From Illinois as sophomore (2015-16) to FSU as junior (2016-17)
Natalie Romeo (From Nebraska (stick a pin in this part, I'll get back to it below) as a sophomore (2015-16) to Washington as a junior (2016-17)).


In all the above cases the coach had been fired (in at least 3 of the 4 (including Shepard) the coach was being investigated by the university), and the players petitioned for the exemption.

The only thing that set Shepard apart from the rest above was that she ended up playing a key role in winning a National Championship.

The NCAA has allowed gymnasts to compete in "professional gymnastics competitions" and post Olympic tours while maintaining their college eligibility, some did it before they were enrolled in college, some did it while they were enrolled in college. Not sure how it worked regarding prize money, prizes or payment for participation. but they have been allowed to participate or perform, however you'd like to phrase it.

Over 30 years ago, after the Jeremy Bloom fiasco (who was ruled ineligible for football at Colorado because he was making buckets of money as a World Cup and Olympic skier) the NCAA made it so you student-athletes are only ineligible for a sport if they accept money for that particular sport in which they are getting paid, and could continue to play other college sports.

Allowing a basketball player to get paid for a dance show doesn't strike me as all that unusual a ruling. Any more than a college football player getting paid to play professional baseball during summers, which happens frequently.

Heck wasnt Chatrice White with South Carolina before Illinois ?
