Nice to see the good numbers, looking forward to next season.

I'm guessing they're getting room and board, and some spending money? How does this not kill their college eligibility? In any other sport, it would, no?

I believe they pay to play in the summer leagues. There are people who act as host families to help with room and board, But I don't think they receive a salary

This story confirms they are not paid 

Despite its minor-league model, players are not paid during these summer leagues because of NCAA rules. That can make the financial situation unsettling for some, but the host families alleviate some of those concerns by providing food and housing. The teams also provide meals, transportation to away games and hotel accommodations when on the road.
