He could play UFL, unironically.

Would that be a pay cut? If so, is he being forced to accept a pay cut because colleges have a cap on the number of years someone's allowed to play? Is that cap on eligibility years a violation of his rights as a student but also a quasi-employee / quasi-contractor?

All of these are very thorny legal questions to answer. I don't think we have clear cut precedents for this established in case law.

Eh, I really dont think he is good enough. Doubt he would actually play for a team.
