I'm not clear on how this whole thing works, but to my understanding, that what Jermey Bloom is doing, is professional stuff. The NCAA doesn't condone athletes who are in the professional league, but that I not 100% sure.
As for the Jeopardy/Wheel of Fortune, if my memory serves me right, didn't they have a scholarship fund for that certain person who is with a player or just directly for the school?
