Her parents found out she was gay...her mom tried to force her in to conversion therapy...then put everything she owns in a car & disowned her. Their own daughter. This is so awful.

The kid had no money. Her friends raised money for her. Now the NCAA won’t let her keep it. Wow.

Update: Canisius College has released a statement that the NCAA will allow Emily Scheck to keep her eligibility and donations.

Canisius College received clarification from the NCAA that Emily Scheck can retain her eligibility and continue to receive GoFundMe donations that assist her with living and educational expenses. The NCAA staff worked cooperatively with Canisius College to provide guidance that the fundraiser can continue, with school monitoring. NCAA rules allow a school to assist a student-athlete with a fundraiser after a significant life event occurs.

Canisius and the NCAA will continue to work together in support of Emily. She is a member of the Canisius family and we will to do whatever we can to assist her.
