I think it's dumb that the large majority of athletes are not being compensated for their time in college football. Go look at a team store like Texas A&M Football. I can gauarantee you that the first jersey you see is a #2 jersey. There is no name on the back of the jersey, but EVERYONE KNOWS who that jersey represents. Look at AJ Green when he was at Georgia. There were #8 jerseys everywhere. Now you will struggle to find a #8 Georgia jersey in any store. The NCAA as a whole capitalizes on these kids' names without giving them a single dime. Same thing as EA Sports and their college game. Literally the only thing missing from their games were the names associated with the players.


That sure as shite looks like Tim Tebow to me. The player likeness in it is insane.



Looks like Johnny Football here as well.

They need to compensate these kids, end of story.

they are

and players willingly sign away their rights to their image while in college. nobody put a gun to their head

coming back after the fact, and trying to go back on the deal, is not only dishonorable, it's a complete farce/lie

do you believe people should go back on contracts they agree to with you, when it appears that the deal they agreed to didn't work out as perfectly as they imagined in their head? really?
