Anybody every run a fantasy league as a fundraiser? (1 Viewer)

I am mulling over the idea that my daughter's school could host a fantasy football league to raise funds.

Any other FBGs ever do anything like this? If so, did any kind of anti-gambling laws come into play? Tax issues? I understand this stuff will vary state to state, but I am trying to figure out the right questions to ask, the right people to approach with questions, etc.

TC runs youthfantasyfootball.com and has for years. I'd figure he'd be a good person to ask.

Legality of receiving money for FF varies by state. Here's a link to Unlucky's site mentioning the states where he can't send winnings.

I had found out earlier that Louisiana was one of these states. Hmmm ... wonder if matters whether or not the money would cross state lines?

Would giving prizes vs. $$$$ get around igambling concerns?
