To remedy these issues, I would allow players to make money in college by profiting off of their own name, image and likeness.


You understand that this is happening, correct?

I agree with Herbie and I've said it for a long time. There isn't just one team that has a successful season each year.

He is wrong on one point though. Ohio State has a program called Real Life Wednesdays. It helps to prepare players for life after football whether that is after an NFL career or after an Ohio State career. It's wildly successful and seems to be one of the reasons that many players families (and players) choose Ohio State. I presume other schools have similar programs. I believe Urban Meyer started something similar at Florida but I could be mistaken on that.

Yeah but extremely slowly. The NCAA and member institutions will fight every step of the way to keep that sweet revenue. It should have been done decades ago
