This has become a mess. News broke last week UNLV QB walks away from team after not being paid a promised 100k.
Currently from my understanding the colleges are offering athletes deals from money that comes from a "collective". Who actually disburses the money to the player is becoming an issue, and when the athlete is to be paid the money is an issue.
Everyone should be paid for there name, image, and likeness. Footnote only a hand full of athletes entering college are worth anything without having a college team, so the colleges deserve money because they are the organization.
Colleges get TV revenue and ticket sale revenue, this is the money that needs to be split up with athletes. How do you split up? You pay a salary to players "equally" based upon how much there sports make. Give the university 60-70 percent they are providing the facilities and coaching. Pay the players in there respective sports the rest.
If a player does a TV ad, and wears a UNC jersey or uses a highlight from a game, then the company needs to pay the college and the player. A guy like Bronny doesn't need to rock a college jersey to be recognized,so he deserves all the money. If your team does a authogragh session, all players should be paid equally, but not obligated to do so. If again Bronny doesn't want to sign authogragh with team, he should be allowed to set up his own event and take all the revenue, but pay all the expenses of setting this up. If a school sales a jersey with a number they deserve all the money, but if the jersey is sold with name, that should be a joint adventure between the person selling Bronny jersey and the College name displayed.
Colleges want to control the money, and athletes at that age are not knowledgeable enough to set up there own business. So in the end colleges are going to take advantage of the athlete
Gil's arena made a great point. It was more organized when guys were being paid under the table. They even made a statement, when Casino's were appearing it was the gangsters who set it up because they knew how to make sure everyone got paid, and everyone was happy.
Every college athlete needs to have there own media platform that way they can get there money straight to them.
Colleges should pay players, but only off the revenue there team generates. How much is that? I really don't know!
