Not saying the accounts are fake, just wondering if these accounts are actually created and operated by the players themselves. Just doesn't make much sense for Devin White to be asking for money when I know there's got to be several hundred sports agent that would love to sign him to a contract and loan him a couple hundred grand until he signs with a team. As concerning players still on the team and with eligibility I don't know if accepting money from fans would violate some NCAA rule. I know players cannot use their name or likeness to 'make' money. Like being paid to be in a video or an advertisement or something where their face is being shown. This came up not long ago when 2 couple LSU players were seen in a rap video. It also became an issue a few years ago when some college players were featured on a calendar. (don't recall what team they were with) The issue was the calendar was to be sold but if it was given away there wouldn't have been a problem.
