Today they can sell their likeness, tomorrow they will demand a percentage of the gate ticket sales.

A few attorneys will profit and perhaps one-tenth of one percent of the students? And even fewer female athletes.

Will the women athletes have to get the same amount of money as the men’s football and basketball players?

A few star players will get big money. Division 2 and 3 players: not much of anything. The 100$ hand shakes will continue. And basically, who exactually cares all that much about college cross country or college golf. We are talking about football and basketball and not much more.

The statement “There’s no ‘I’ in ‘team’” just went out the door now that every athlete will see every play as a potential money making highlight reel even at the expense of a team win.

I can see the number of sports teams being reduced, because they aren’t as profitable because they have to pay athletes.

I guess this will limit the profit made from the men’s football team - reducing the funds redistributed to women’s sports…

A lot of money has been made off the backs of athletes who got nothing while their schools got rich. I have no problem with seeing athletes being able to make money off their own likeness.

DeWine just signed legislation legalizing this in Ohio. Recruiting for Buckeye football carries a lot of weight.

So they get paid. Does this mean no more scholarships?
