Rules are rules — that’s understood. In this case, Sam used his Dad’s email address to enter his picks. But ESPN could slam-dunk this situation in a hurry by simply stating while the sixth grader isn’t eligible for his winnings now, he can use the money–put away in a trust–to apply toward a college education or trade school at age 18. As for the trip, that too can be used upon graduation. It almost makes too much sense… Sure - they can set themselves up so that the rules never apply, and they can never enforce them. The kid violated the rules when he signed up. Therefore, legally, he was never an entrant.

Therefore, legally, he was never an entrant. If the kid was not an entrant, then why is ESPN devoting time to discussing his picks and inviting him to appear on air?
He's just any other tv viewer (or non-viewer) at that point.
He may have bested their best picks but so what. He's not part of their contest and is irrelevant to their discussion.
