Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence and his girlfriend, Marissa Mowry, college soccer player, started a GoFundMe to raise money for people affected by the coronavirus. They raised over $2,600 when…. the NCAA forced them to shut it down.

Lawrence and Mowry started a GoFundMe fund-raising page for coronavirus victims Monday afternoon, but it was shut down the same day after raising $2,670. Mowry said through a video on her Instagram account that they were forced to deactivate the page. A Clemson official confirmed that Lawrence and Mowry were not allowed to have the GoFundMe account active due to NCAA rules that prohibit using name, image and likeness for crowd funding.
