Article about the issue from before his decision:
http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/19626695/ucf-kicker-donald-de-la-haye-asked-stop-making-money-youtube-videos
Central Florida kicker Donald De La Haye has a popular channel on YouTube, and in his most recent video he says UCF asked him to stop making money off his videos so that he can preserve his amateur status.

In the video "Quit College Sports or Quit YouTube," De La Haye said, "I feel like they're making me pick between my passion in what I love to do, make videos and entertain, be creative, and my other passion, which is playing football."

A source said UCF never gave De La Haye an ultimatum; rather, he met with members of the compliance staff and they offered to work toward a solution. The NCAA referred all comments to UCF, saying that it has not received a waiver from the school in regard to the matter.

In a statement, UCF said, "UCF Athletics is committed to rules compliance. Our compliance staff strives to make sure our student-athletes are informed about all pertinent NCAA bylaws. Student-athletes attend regular educational meetings regarding NCAA eligibility. One of our goals is to help our student-athletes learn about the bylaws that govern intercollegiate athletics, in an effort to help them maintain their eligibility."

De La Haye has made 41 videos that show his daily life, including what it is like to be a student-athlete. Because he hit 10,000 lifetime views, he was able to make money off ads placed on his videos. At issue is NCAA bylaw 12.4.4, which states an athlete "may establish his or her own business, provided the student-athlete's name, photograph, appearance or athletics reputation are not used to promote the business."

No, what they're telling you is that you can't make money off of the videos

Honestly, at this points the players need to either unionize, force a work stoppage, protest or stfu.

It's been widely known for years that the NCAA is a corrupt pos organization that basically operates like an old timey slave plantation.

I wonder if you can claim you're effectively a slave if you don't have your own freedom to your own appearance.


You always own your own appearance, but if you're making money off it, you can't play college sports.

It's not really a hard concept to grasp.

Did he have the channel before playing in the NCAA and was the content of the videos unrelated to playing in the NCAA?

Because legal issues surrounding this stuff could lose them their tax immunity which is way more important to them than some player.

It's a business. It exists to make money. Not to help college kids fulfill their dreams. Not to entertain the fans who otherwise have no other avenue to watch college sports.

It is a very hard concept to grasp because it is bullshit. Playing sports in college shouldn't be a handicap. 99% of the student athletes are just students that want to play sports while they are there. If you are an academic scholarship student or belong to a school program that isn't athletic in nature, no one is screaming at you for making YouTube videos, washing your car, or having someone buy you lunch. The NCAA is rotten.

How does a student making money or committing one of the other nonsense NCAA violations cost the school money? This isn't even about schools paying athletes.

It doesn't cost the school anything. It costs the NCAA their tax immunity.

What mythical law do you think is about college amateur athlete status. Hint: there is none. The NCAA is tax free for the same reason that the NFL is.

The NFL tax exemption is constantly under jeopardy and it's maintained only by their persistance in distancing themselves from the actual teams which are not tax exempt. People are trying to kill the NFL's tax status even today. The NCAA's worst public issue is "dumb rules"

If that's true, then abolish the NCAA or change the rules while we're talking about stupid rules.

Actually, let's just abolish the NCAA.
