He could always quit -  pay trainers,pay for gyms etc to keep in shape, play semi-pro football and then tryout when he's 3 years out of high school. It's been done. With no other market for his football skills,he's getting training, conditioning, coaching, film for pros to evaluate under game conditions and PR that he'd otherwise have to pay for including a college education (if he takes full advantage of the opportunity). Just wondering, is it a college's fault there is no other high paying market for his talents out of high school? Both the NFL and Canadian league both have identical draft eligibility requirements. If money was to be made by funding other post high school football options, I bet there would be multiple options he could chose from.

If the school workload is the issue and not just wanting to get paid to play, then protesting the NCAA annual course credit requirements and the time allowed to complete a degree should be his focus. ( I think it should be the issue).
