Comment on If I was a college athlete instead of accepting money out right. If I created a charity where they could "donate", and keep all the money? Is this illegal or illegal how so?

No but time to time you hear about Athelets betting on games or Pete Rosing it. What would stop a player from setting up a so called charity and take the donations go to a bookie throw a game or two. Reap all the winnings? How would anyone find out unless said athelete told someone? Basically getting paid to play through a charity that was setup by her or him people make donations like to schools but just to charity? I think the NCAA would not be able to do anything sinces its out of their perview?
