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.

A good friend was Allstate in basketball (Illinois) played for four years and drafted into the pros. He had a good job offer teaching, said it was a sure thing, and took it.
His four years was a 100% full ride, He lived in a fraternity house, his parents may have paid for that? I don’t know and sadly he died a couple of years ago.
