Agreed. It's fine and dandy for the NCAA to throw his name on jersey's and make money off him, but when it comes to allowing him to pursue another sport at an Olympic calibre through sponsorships they say no?? Something is wrong there.
Bloom wrote an article highlighting his side of things. Quite an interesting read:

My favourite part:
"Before the first road trip of my collegiate career, Coach Barnett made it mandatory to wear a sport coat to the game. At the time I didn't own a sport coat, so I borrowed one from one of our trainers. The following week, during my weekly phone call from our compliance office, someone informed me that, due to NCAA rules, I would be fined $35 for a "rental fee.""
