I think it's also to do with college scholarship - you're not eligible if you've ever played in a "professional" league (I think)

They cannot play alongside professional players but can play against them. So if the Nix Reserves got a team in the ASB Premiership, you would lose your college eligibility only by playing for them. In the US, tons of college players play in the PDL, which has some semi pro-teams involved in it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USL_Premier_Development_League
