I doubt it. When somebody like Holzinger leaves early and signs a pro
contract, he forfeits his remaining eligibility. Since he is no longer a
college athlete, the NC$$ wouldn't really care what happened to him.
Maybe they'll keep an eye on him for statistical purposes (so they can
keep track of the number of student-athletes who actually graduate or
something). But if Holzinger or anyone else in his situation were to
receive preferential treatment (or were to be treated grossly unfairly),
from the NC$$ standpoint, who cares? He's no longer a college athlete
and thus not under their jurisdiction.
