Go back to the early days of college football and there were shades of that being a possibility. Can't recall if it was always frowned upon or became so later on, but it wasn't out of the ordinary to have a few guys who weren't enrolled at the school playing on the team.
Didn't BYU do something like that with their soccer team? They were enrolled in the school and still amateurs, but they were playing in one of the lower leagues of the US pyramid instead of the NCAA.
UANL and UNAM are really just professional teams that happen to be owned/run by the University, they have youth academies (Seattle just beat Tigres at the GA Cup this month), women's teams, reserve teams etc. They're not that old either, Pumas was founded in 1954 and Tigres in 1960.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Yes, one of the most fun facts about the Ivies is they went no scholarship / no special treatment (ahem) to some extent because of their stated goal of promoting academics, but also because the whole sport including them had a seriously sketchy reputation for (1) ringers, (2) betting, (3) hookers, (4) banging underage non-professionals, and (5) really extraordinary levels of violence.

Article on NWSL Refereeing.
This article, however, is pretty poorly written and leaves out facts to imply gender equality issues:
1. MLS not only pays higher game fees but nearly all MLS referees are full time employees who receive full time training and a salary. NWSL referees are part time and have normal jobs. Why? Because...
2. That whole "NWSL pays a portion of PRO's operating costs" thing? The NWSL pays $125k yearly, MLS pays $10 million yearly.
It always amazes me that leagues like the NWSL and USL complain about not being on equal footing in the USSF or PRO with MLS while coming nowhere near the investment in infrastructure that MLS does. That bit about referees not having a locker room and changing in tents? That was in Louisville in a $65 million stadium that opened in 2020!U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!
