NCAA athletes can NOT earn miles!!
A family friend has a daughter who plays on a NCAA women's soccer team. She is required to travel a fair amount to play other teams. In accordance with NCAA rules, she can not earn frequent flier miles on her school's flights. Apparently it falls into the same category as if she were to accept a shoe sponsorship from Nike, for example.

Seems a little ridiculous to me.
