I doubt there is a sufficient quantum of creative expression for a spear -- without more -- to be eligible for copyright protection. A trademark may be a different story, but there one would have to show a likelihood of confusion, and that seems unlikely given the obviously differences between the NFL and college football. The Internet says lots of things, and many of them are dead wrong. This is one of them.
