Yet more NCAA hypocrisy

[butchna]

By presenting evidence.

How do you think they prove any violation of labor laws?

You let them perform work tasks in court? Performance is subjective...especially in athletics. Once again how do you PROVE one player is better than the other? Asking for the participants in the MJ vs LJ debate. :hi:

I really hope he files a lawsuit against the NCAA.

The NCAA continues to prove its sliminess, and really never should have put the burden on that player to begin with.

On a more personal note, however, this was just catastrophically dumb on part of this kid. Just demonetize your account for a couple of years, dude. YouTube (and other social media platforms) will be around a lot longer than that scholarship would have been. I believe I read somewhere that his family did need the money, which I can understand (and yet even further confirms the sliminess of the NCAA), but if I was his parent, there is still no way I would let him throw away a free ride over a YouTube channel.

I'm not familiar with the rules of other collegiate governing bodies. I wonder if he could transfer to an NAIA school?

UCF suspended him, not the NCAA. UCF submitted a proposal by which the kid could keep his eligibility and keep his youtube. THe stipulation being that his videos be separated so that the football related videos did not earn money. He would have been allowed to what he wanted with non-football videos and money.

The NCAA accepted this proposal from UCF.

The kid decided he did not want to abide by that.

UCF suspended him.

His account would be almost worthless without the football videos.

And now it doesn't have CURRENT football videos.
