DeWine signs order OK'ing compensation for college athletes
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio became the 18th state Monday to allow college athletes to earn money off their name, image and likeness after a GOP attempt to add a transgender sports ban to the bill forced the governor to issue an executive order.

In a perplexing move that hopefully will lead to the end of college football in public schools, Ohio governor Mike DeWine signed an EO today that allows college players to make money.
“For Ohio to be competitive, we need to get this now,” DeWine said. “We need to let everyone know that Ohio is in the game. Ohio is going to stay in the game.”

"Such compensation could involve anything from a book-signing at a bookstore to a deal with a local restaurant. Exceptions include sponsorships for marijuana, alcohol, tobacco and casinos, which are not permitted under the order, State Sen. Niraj Antani said."
So when Louisiana allows "student athletes" to front for casinos...will they have an advantage or when Tennessee allows players to pose with a bottle of Jack Daniels...will they have an advantage? Unbelievable.
