NCAA leadership announced Wednesday that it is supporting the recommendation to allow name, image, and likeness right for college athletes.

The proposal will allow student-athletes to work with an agent, sell autographs and jerseys, make paid appearances, sign endorsement contracts with boosters, and receive payments for other work.

Phillip Stutts was on The Paul Finebaum Show to talk about the proposals that are being moved forward:

What, is this a late April Fool's joke?

I can't get behind this. If all this sticks, what you think these TAF fees and season tickets prices about to be?

d2•48 months

So does this mean LSU will forever be known, as the last amateur sport champions?

Wow, I bet Joe wishes he had another year!

BlackPot•48 months

Why? he just signed a multi million dollar contract.

Take notes from Costanza- always leave on a high note.

The booster part won’t stick

BigPerm30•48 months

Boosters can hire athletes? The SEC is going to be stacked.

Actually this might level the playing field. UTa, tOSU, and USCw alumni are loaded. Our competition won't be the barbershop dude anymore. Just sayin'!

WTF That ends the sport as we know them. End of the games boys.

Nothing knocking out the magic of this season

Good. Get it out in the open. It's been happening since the 1800's (eighteen hundreds) anyway.

Agents+Outside gigs for cash= Not Amateurs

Well at least the Tigers won one last trophy before it all turned to shite.

Would quickly erode college football. Somehow I get the feeling that’s the goal by some.

kengel2•48 months

I think its going to kill smaller sports as well. Bye bye small baseball schools.

JGWS7•48 months

I can't understand the 100% ABOUT FACE that's being done here....i agree that these kids needed to be able to get some spending\living money but this is too far and will be the end of college football as we know it

CDawson•48 months

Let the open bidding war begin. What was once hidden will now be a free for all.

Tiger Vision•48 months

There needs to be a modest cap on this or most schools will be priced out of the game. LSU does not have the mega-boosters that some schools have and it is a public institution in the poorest state in the country. Welcome to buying your MNC.

JGWS7•48 months

Agreed, your handing teams like Texas, Bama, Ohio St and USC trophies..... Blue bloods not winning it all or even in it this year so we just rig it TO MAKE SURE they will be....but we still can't get NCAA football back, Something stinks

BayouBengal99•48 months

Oh boy... here we go. The loopholes and cheating will be rampant. These schools will be forced to play dirty or be an after thought. Let’s hope they put in some huge restrictions to this and guidelines and what is allowed and what’s not allowed. That NEEDS to happen and has to happen if this is going to benefit college football.

TriDitty•48 months

Maybe they should at least cap the total income of students to some feasible number to stop rampant over payments. You know damned well this is gonna get crazy by year 2. College kids making millions a year in not so covert bidding wars.

REC has been putting in work lately

CharlesLSU•48 months

There is alot of middle ground from not getting paid directly (today) and opening up a professional structure. As I am seeing it, it will kill the magic of college football

Mr. Hangover•48 months

when it's the same 2-5 teams competing for the national championship every year, the magic has already died

EasterEgg•48 months

I'm predicting a Vanderbilt-A&M SECCG on the horizon. The Ivy League will become the 6th power conference. And high school campuses will become infested with agents sniffing around for the next big name.

skullopener•48 months

They just ruined the collegiate sport. Let the showboating begin!!
