Message: [QUOTE="atom58, post: 1441982, member: 5312"] From what I read, I understood the prior NCAA rule was on the schools of the athletes (b/c food counts as a "benefit" I guess). If this is true, then the immediate family can send "care packages" but presumably problems would come from "boosters" doing this. It might have counted as infraction much as providing them with $$$. On the other hand if your family is wealthy they could provide more for you than the other athletes would get in terms of food so I don't know how extensive the prior NCAA Division 1 regulation was, or just what the situation is now, other than reading that the NCAA allows more snacks, etc. to be provided than they did prior to the negative publicity they received following the remarks of that UConn BB player.
