Fournette's Family Broke NCAA Merchandise Rules?

[Deleted]

Paul Price, described by Fournette's mother as the family’s manager, made payments of about $10,000 to build a website and produce the merchandise to be sold, the owners of three companies involved told USA TODAY Sports. The owners said they gave Price and the Fournettes more than $20,000 in discounts because they expected strong sales driven by the star running back's popularity.

Give me a break.

I am so sick of the freaking NCAA. Making BILLIONS off of kids, but if families try to cash in a couple grand, then it's a violation.

Stupid.

Sorry, but I don't see how the NCAA has any legal authority to hold a kid responsible for whatever his family does. They aren't the ones playing.
