The software kid doesn't have any amateur elegibility to worry about. He can make all the money he wants to. This seems pretty simple to me, and I cannot possibly think anyone believes he got the jerseys for academic achievement.
I'm also tired of hearing people complain about him being exploited by his school and the Ohio Association. All the publicity they've gotten him is going to pay him huge dividends when he signs his first endorsement deal.
Now that I'm on the topic, how did his Mom get a $50,000 loan to by that hummer anyway? She must be a lawyer or something.
And, as long as these athletes get paid the big bucks, they are by default taking on the role-model job. That's why they get big money, because people (lots of people) like to watch them play. It comes with the money. They are held to a higher standard for the same reason they make more money.
Okay, I'm off my soapbox now.
