Former tennis star Jim Curier has slammed a rule that affects Oli Tarvet.
As an amateur play in college still, NCAA rules determine that Tarvet is allowed to claim more than £ 7,000 in prize money, in addition to only a few expenses.
This is despite the British star, who has reached the second round, so far earning £ 99k Wimbledon,
Curier said on ESPN: “It’s very stupid. I can’t even start telling you that a donor, a alum can give you $ 100,000 because they like you, but still you earn it, you can’t keep it?
“Oh, NCAA, you have never failed to distribute for us. You always go down, always go less. NCAA has a lot of problems. It’s a small, but it is a shortcoming that they need to fill clearly, because if they have a golfer and get for a chief, they say that they do not open Ogasta or US?
“I mean, this is the money that is just going to withdraw … You are just investing back in our development, you coach, your journey, all the stuff. It’s just nonsense, but good for Oliver Tarvet.”
