Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence is among the many athletes looking to help people during the coronavirus pandemic, but the NCAA stepped in to block his campaign on GoFundMe.
Lawrence and his girlfriend Marissa Mowry started the account on Monday afternoon to raise money for COVID-19 family relief and support. Mowry revealed in a video on her Instagram page that they raised $2,670, which will go to Meals on Wheels America and No Kid Hungry. The campaign is no longer active.
A Clemson official told The State that "NCAA rules that prohibit using name, image and likeness for crowd funding," meaning Lawrence and Mowry could not keep the campaign up.
