Postman, I just read article you shared. I look no farther than the Chairman of that Board and his college. Ohio State will be biggest benefactor of this new rule. If it comes to fruition. The Buckholes may as well put car dealers logo on their uniforms.
A couple comments in the article are very funny, and are basically lies. I can't quote them right now, but I will later, when I'm on a computer, instead of phone.
So if you read the article then you should now know this isn't about schools paying athletes. It is about allowing them to do what every other American can do, make money off of their likeness.
It takes away the shadiness of the stuff that already is going on that gives the Alabamas and Clemnsons of the world an advantage and puts it all out in the open. The backdoor deals that are done opens things up to the criminal world and that isn't good for college athletics or athletes in the long run.
I can get why people are against schools paying athletes a salary but I have never understood why people are against athletes making money on their own from their hard earned success. It seems, to me, goes against what our economy is all about.
Obviously the schools that are already at an advantage will remain being the ones who benefit from this the most but it certainly won't change college athletics as we know it. It simply will give athletes the opportunity to make some money without having to worry about the NCAA getting involved.
