Josh Rosen responds to UCLA's $280M Under Armour deal: 'Gotta love non-profits'

Published May. 24, 2016 1:58 p.m. ET

UCLA, one of the most decorated programs of all time, reportedly made a bit of history on Tuesday when it reportedly inked a $280 million shoe and apparel deal with Under Armour. The news is according to multiple reports.

It's the largest deal in NCAA history and will cover 15 years. The school will obviously make a boatload of money from the contract, but its athletes won't get a penny. And UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen is well aware of that.

He took to Instagram to share this since-deleted post:

The caption reads "We're still amateurs though ... Gotta love non-profits #NCAA." Clearly, this is a jab at the NCAA using players' likeness and star power to benefit financially, while athletes aren't being paid. It also comes from a kid who had a hot tub in his dorm last year.

Certainly, his head coach Jim Mora won't be pleased with Rosen's post, who likened him to Johnny Manziel
