Maybe I am wrong, but it seems like in this day and age of big college ball there should be some incentives other than a scholarship and the possibility of turning pro.
You just gave the answer....There is no possibility of "turning" pro once you accept money for playing.. You ARE pro once you see that first dollar. I used to be a Division 1 athlete, and the restrictions are crazy...No accepting rides from people, using school phones, etc. They could be lightened up a bit, but money should never be received, or else you aren't a true amateur athlete.
