Josh Huff isn’t happy with the NCAA.
The Oregon receiver went on a mini Twitter rant Thursday. Evidently, he spent $1,500 to rent a venue for “Josh Huff’s Official 22nd Birthday Bash” this weekend. Fliers were made advertising the party and the cover charge ($5 for ladies, $8 for guys).

That’s when those pesky NCAA rules got in the way. We’re assuming the UO compliance office told Huff he can’t use his likeness to advertise an event that people pay money to attend.

After canceling the party, Huff vented his anger in the way most young people do  … on Twitter:

So it’s okay for the NCAA to make money off of my name and likeness but once I go to charge ppl to get in my party it’s a problem? Crazy.

I’m just a student-athlete who’s trying to make more money to survive off of bc being a student athlete should be treated as a full time job

I don’t mean to be a distraction but I honestly feel as if the NCAA is full of bs.

Over the NCAA ! Hope the players union win the case bc y’all are just down wrong for how y’all treat us athletes.

But for them to make MILLIONS off student athletes and our names is wrong. Do the math of all the hours we spend each day and yearly on

the sport we love. You’ll see we’re getting paid less then minimum wage at $4 hr. I’m very blessed and grateful but its just not right.

Some duck fans stepped in, warning Huff that he might get in trouble ….

@Huff_Era_1 don’t want to get in trouble for anything delete the tweets apologize you mean a lot to this team

Huff toned down the rant, then offered sort of an apology.

I wasn’t trying to be a distraction but I feel like sometimes ppl forget that we are human before we’re student-athletes.
