That is f'ing hilarious!!! When we drafted him , my first thought was this is going to be a train wreck...

I really hope Haslam learned his lesson with Johnny Football...

At the same time , I hope johnny can turn his life around etc...

But , as long as his grandfathers money is around , and his grandfather has no issues with his behaviour , doubtful he will change , and neither would many of us....

No. NCAA rules are five years to complete four years of NCAA eligibility, barring an extra year granted for injury. He's past that.

Does a professional athlete maintain amateur status in other sports?

Depends on the sport. Danny Ainge played for the Blue Jays during summer then went back to BYU and played hoops. But he was still under the 5 and 4 rule on his B-ball eligibility.
