BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Yup, the plantation owners are giving it up... barely. Ed O'Bannon case was a watershed moment for the players. BGW 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderRam Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Which is why I said CA’s legislation was a good thing. The legislation itself wasn’t the final or right answer. It was merely a good start. It forced the NCAA bozos to stop stalling and finally get busy figuring something out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderRam Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Whatever you choose to call it. They weren't doing a damn thing beforehand. Saw an interview with Gene Smith where he admitted the that CA legislation was the push they needed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 When they say get paid for their likeness that just means they can use their own images and copyrighted logos and names right? They can’t use the college logo I assume without having to pay them. So this will benefit like 3 players. Lol. The 3 most popular players. Tough for the backup punter on Eastern Michigan to capitalize 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough for the backup punter on Eastern Michigan to capitalize 😂 It means for example that if they bring back NCAA football they can profit off their name being used in the game as well as if a company wants to endorse a athlete (like a car dealership) the player can be paid by that dealership The schools aren't having to pay them a dime for this rule change, basically just lets the player Make money off themselves if they can 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasfrog Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 So... this is a slippery slope that might be the beginning of the end of College football as we all know it. So if they get to use their likeness on NCAA Football video games. Do some players get more money than others? Do players need to get Agents now to represent them for all the extra little pays they might get? This isn't the beginning and the end to this "Paid for Likeness." It's just the beginning.

HawgGoneIt Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 I've been conflicted on this topic since it first came back into the spotlight with the Cali legislation. The NCAA clearly makes a lot of money, way above and beyond what the student athlete's educations are worth. At the same time, I can't see how this thing will have enforceable rules and not become a legal(ish) way for boosters to funnel money to athletes in trade for coming to certain schools. It seems like it will be a case of the rich get richer at this early juncture in time, at least to me. In the absence of having any rules set forth yet of course. Like I said before, it seems like you may as well go ahead and just remove the academic part and just make them semi-pro athletes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L Quote ike I said before, it seems like you may as well go ahead and just remove the academic part and just make them semi-pro athletes. That's where this is all going... My prediction is in about 10 years we're going to see basically a NFL Minor League system much like MLB. NCAA College football is going to slowly die on the vine.
