this has nothing to do with colleges paying athletes.
it has to do with them having outside jobs.
sports "journalists" though aren't that bright
Sure it does. When you are a celebrity, like these athletes they will have the ability to get paid for doing pretty much nothing. Some booster can now put up your cutout in their business with text saying you support that business and they can give you whatever amount of money they want. They don't even have to try.this has nothing to do with colleges paying athletes.

No, a booster can't pay them, nor can the university.. Some booster can now put up your cutout in their business
I haven't (nor will I) read any of the weasel words associated with this change.No, a booster can't pay them, nor can the university.

What the fuchs makes you think I told you that? Matbe have someone else read my posts to you. YES, AN ATHLETE CAN SELL HIS LIKENESS.Are you telling me, if I own a car dealership, I can't pay [insert "athlete name"] for the use of his/her likeness, and also pay
Cant possibly believe what? That Bammer and others will continue cheating? OF COURSE THEY WILL. Bammer equals cheating, all through history.You can't possibly believe that. It will be exploited like everything else..
95% of them will make zero based on their NIL. Hell, the vast majority of pro athletes don’t have endorsement deals. Who’s gonna pay to have some left guard endorse their product?
Now, you get a generational player like Tebow, Bo or Hershel? They’ll be filthy rich before they’re ever draft eligible.

Do you think this might cause some friction in the locker room?
What about the athletes in other sports that aren't typically seen as 'revenue generating'?
Will they be a little discouraged?
I can see a movement growing that will demand equal distribution of these newly found funds to all of the other athletes at a school.
And...do they have to pay taxes on all of this new found money?
Does it cause friction in professional locker rooms? You play a glamorous position for a marquis team, you get endorsement deals. You play in the trenches and you don’t.Do you think this might cause some friction in the locker room?

It’s not meant to make them set for life as 18-22 year old student athletes. It’s just allowing them to potentially get a small piece of the pie for their NIL while they’re there. Folks are reading way too much into this. It’s like they’ve been brainwashed over the years by the very organization they hate…the NCAA.agreed - but those professionals also get paid a butt-load of money in salary and bonus money (not all, of course), but they do well for themselves.
the typical student athlete does not.
