If you take this out of the shadows, & make it allowable if they report it, then it is less likely to be abused or used as a cover for other things.
Anything can fall under "payments for autograph." Guys wouldn't be making money from playing football, they would be making money off their image. So it's nearly impossible to control how much a guy's image is worth. Give a guy $500,000 for "autographs" and anything could fall under that. "Sign with me when the draft comes...sign with this school...you don't need to play in this game now that you are making this much money...here's your autogrpah money."
And that's not even touching how to teach these college kids how to deal with money.

Obviously players are receiving payments for their autographs already. Unless you want to believe Manziel is the first and only case of this.
I believe it's not the first case, I don't believe it's rampant across college football.

Agents and schools can't do this now? Also, not playing in games will lead to lower draft status and less money for the agents so highly unlikely that becomes a big problem.

Why is that necessary? It's their money, they can spend it as they see fit. No one else in college takes a class on "how to deal with money"

Maybe not autograph signings but players getting cash from agents, boosters, etc is rampant.
