They are already rich - think they are just trying to keep people from taking advantage of their son.

TMing it so nobody makes money off of his name - even his own family. Not that hard.

I would infringe the trademark anyway as long as he is an amateur, because he has no damages. He couldn't take advantage of it anyway since he is an amateur.
I've often thought that this is a loophole in trademark law vis-a-vis so-called amateur athletes.

the announcers should stop using it and use his real name instead

Agreed. Might be lamest/most annoying nickname in the history of CFB.

Quick hijack-I just found out a few days ago some friends and I were cabin mates with JFF at Pine Cove.
Lesson learned. You never know who's going to pan out.
And I know, CSB.

Which will happen after his parents trademark it.
Then, it will never be said again and his nickname will officially be gone.
So thank you JFF's parents for putting an end to Johnny Football
