NCAA Bylaw: 12.4.1.1 - Athletics Reputation.
Such compensation may not include any remuneration for value or utility that the student-athlete may have for the employer because of the publicity, reputation, fame or personal following that he or she has obtained because of athletics ability.
I'm sure the same definition of "athletics reputation" is included in 12.4.4. Looks like it's definitely a no-go. The question is can they sell them before he's enrolled which appears to be a gray area.
I think it opens up a huge can of worms for the NCAA if they allowed/continued to allow this.
