The direct payment of extra benefits like meals by the booster club, Ath Director or any coaches would make those athletes ineligible to compete any more because it was a benefit offered to a select group and violates the spirit of amateurism and quite possibly any future in college athletics- but hey that is par for the course in Lexington County
Extra Benefit: An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution’s athletics interests to provide a student-athlete or the student-athlete’s relative or friend a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Receipt of a benefit by student-athletes or their relatives or friends is not a violation of NCAA legislation, if it is demonstrated that the same benefit is generally available to the institution’s students or their relatives or friends or to a particular segment of the student body (e.g., foreign students, minority students) determined on a basis unrelated to athletics ability.
