I wondered about that. I assumed that the agreement to play football was not a right, therefore they could set any rules on that but not take away a scholarship over it, as that would violate their right to free speech. Pro teams could write that into a contract, because they are not the government, but I doubt any pro player would run to sign with a team that did that.
On the college level though, I wonder how many HS kids with social media accounts would willingly give them up or if they would sign with a school that didn’t have that rule?
