NCAA is stupid. Must have been some ridiculous terms.

The NCAA tried to work with him but he turned it down. I suspect he wanted the publicity to get more followers for his site (and thus more ad revenue)

That's my point. He kicked in every game for them. And was pretty good too.  That doesn't just go away.

The NCAA offered him a deal.  He could keep his YouTube channel as long as he did not mention that he was a kicker for UCF.  He declined.  

Ironically, now that he declined he will not be able to say he is a kicker for UCF on his YouTube channel.

So he has gained nothing but publicity by turning down the NCAA's offer.  

Gee, I wonder why he turned them down.
