Are NCAA athletes allowed to hold jobs? I know at one time they weren't, but am thinking perhaps those rules have now faded away too?

Athletes have been allowed to have outside jobs since at least 2016.

9. Outside employment. The NCAA allows players to have paying jobs. They may rarely have the time to do so, but it is permitted if the work is performed at an amount comparable to the going rate in that area for similar services. The payment isn't supposed to be due to athletic ability or publicity for the employer due to the athlete's presence. An athlete can be employed by his or university, another school, or a private organization to work in a camp or clinic as a counselor.

Looks like the change was made in 2007:

In a surprise development at its annual convention, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) approved new legislation allowing athletes to work part-time jobs during the school year.

Athletes (both from Stanford and from other schools) have been employed as counselors at the Stanford golf camp for as long as my son has been going.
