Yes. What JFF did was wrong based on the rules, but it's completely fricked up his college career could be over because he made money over what he worked so hard to accomplish. It's a completely fricked up situation. If a 5 year old actor can make millions for making a commercial or movie, an athlete should be able to earn money for what they've done.

they can. the problem is not college football it's the nfl not letting in younger players and refusing to set up a minor league system for the atletes not wanting to attend college. as it stands, a football player must wait until he's 21 yrs old. personally, i don't see how that is legal.

A 5 year old actor can't touch their money until they are 18. Wouldn't be a bad idea if the money that CF players earned was escrowed until they were out of school.
