I just want to add that once you are considered a "professional" athlete, you are no longer allowed to compete with NCAA after the olympics. for example, Alicia Sacramone was mentioned in this thread. she used to compete for Brown and did elite gymnastics as well. Once she was signed to UnderArmor, she loses her privilege to compete with college. Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas will not be able to compete at a college (if they choose to attend one) because they are considered professional athletes. On the flip side, Jordyn Weiber is clear to compete at UCLA because she never accepted any sponsorships(ie she is not signed to Pandora like Aly or Nike like Gabby).
Furthermore, in the dance world, there are a lot of "famous" young dancers (ie Sophia Lucia). If she were to consider herself a professional dancer(gets paid to dance, sponsored by a company) she would be banned from competing at any dance competition again.
