Missy Franklin is a multiple gold winning high school student who says she wants to swim collegiately. As I understand it, as part of the gold medals she achieved there is also a cash award.  Will it make her ineligible to swim in college if she accepts the money?

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause.” Teddy Roosevelt
