There's reason to be slightly concerned. Papa Buga or not, the NCAA would see it as capitalizing off of Leonard's collegiate popularity. If ya'll remember the whole Johnny Manziel memorabilia dilemma, it is up to the athlete to prevent the use of their name/likeness for business to the best of their knowledge. Just keep that in mind.


You're trying to sound like you know what you're talking about here but you have no fricking clue. Leonard Fournette isn't the only Leonard Fournette in his family. His dad can use his own name to sell whatever the frick he wants.

clearly I can see how someone might be concerned. Even if it's his dad's name, a booster could come in and drastically overpay for a car knowing who will get the money.

Now if that's really his dad's business, then he's got every right to put his own name on it, but I can see how it might raise a red flag, even if it's legit.

With the purple and gold sign, I think the idea is to capitalize on LF's name.

Remember the 250k donation to Cam Newton's dad. NCAA couldn't touch him.

I saw they replaced the name a month ago to some generic title but now it's back to Leonard Fournette.

Pretty sure LF7's dad's name is Leonard Fournette. That's probably the connection.

It is. I'm pretty sure Mathieu's dad or uncle is the co-owner.

Can't prove that he's using Leonard's name to capitalize.

It's HIS name! The fact that he has a son who plays college football is irrelevant. The man can use his own name to build his own brand.

How is this even a question?
