Long story short this kid was making a couple hundred off of YouTube videos a few years ago while kicking at UCF. The NCAA gave him a choice to either demonetize his videos, or be ruled ineligible to play. He chose to be ruled ineligible. Now he has 1.5 million subscribers and is making a couple thousand off of each video while playing in the CFL.
How can a regular student on an academic scholarship make money off of YouTube but a student-athlete can't? I don't see how that's still a rule in 2019. There are plenty of regular kids in college doing YouTube. I've seen a few dropout bc they were pulling in so much money.
I challenge someone to give a valid argument as to why kids shouldn't be able to profit off of their likeness. Where are all the "it will ruin CFB" people at?

Youtube-sensation kicker no stranger to CFL - CFL.ca
Youtube star Donald De La Haye can also kick the football — Jim Popp and the Argos wouldn't have brought him to camp otherwise.
