Now college athletes can sell endorsements

[Mac-7]

The difference is the amateur status. An Olympic athlete has always been able to get paid for the use of their Name, Image and Likeness. But not paid to play the game. Is it splitting hairs? Sure. But unsplit hair is a rarity these days.

Also, those with more talent and the drive to excel achieve more in life. I have a lot of friends who are musicians. The talented ones make money.

At this time the players receiving money being paid for NIL, not for playing

Who is paying your QB $1 million? The school? Or is it an endorsement from a private company?

Idk it was on ESPN.

It is pretty clear that you are missing what his comment was really about.

You are. Take your own advice. Stay on topic. Please.

Well, I think that attitude is the product of not reading enough of his idiotic, materialistic, self-important bullshit.

That’s your excuse for your bad behavior? Are you saying I got to you? So much you can’t even stay on topic?

Idk it was on ESPN.

Endorsements are from companies outside the school who want to use the athlete for advertising. It does not come from the school. It is like a large portion of the salaries the coaches are paid.

Change to what?

Change to allowing players to get monetary compensation for their efforts, whether through payment from the school or from endorsements.

I never said that's how it works now. Are you talking to the right person?

You're the one who is ruing the possibility of this happening. I'm saying it's a good thing.
