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:

This is opening a HUGE can of worms!

LeClerc•60 months

Agreed. In 20 years these will be semi-pro teams.

arcalades•60 months

more like pandora's box.

Boosters can hire players? Were dodge chargers not enough for the crimson tide?

ElderTiger•60 months

So here’s how it will work in Alabama: A booster will buy a Mercedes Benz from one of Saban’s dealerships. The booster will give it to the player. Win-Win-Win = the booster gets close to the player, the player gets his ride and Saban sells another car. Poor Bear Bryant must be spinning in his grave...he only had a Chevy dealership !

College football and basketball (mens) will never be the same.

So a booster can hire a football player to mow his lawn and pay him $100,000 for it?

noonan•60 months

No, but they can hire the football player to supervise the lawn being mowed.

Buckeye Jeaux•60 months

Or have the supervisor update the player on the lawn mowing every quarter or so.

OchoDedos•60 months

So in other words, Alabama can now legitimately have every Agent and Player on its payroll.

Disgeaux Bob•60 months

The beginning of the end.

arcalades•60 months

more like the middle

skullopener•60 months

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

EasterEgg•60 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.

CharlesLSU•60 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•60 months

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

spudz•60 months

REC has been putting in work lately

BayouBengal99•60 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•60 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.

Tiger Vision•60 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•60 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

CDawson•60 months

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

Ripley•60 months

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

kengel2•60 months

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

JGWS7•60 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

NoShow•60 months

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

SeeeeK•60 months

Agents+Outside gigs for cash= Not Amateurs

Buckeye Jeaux•60 months

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

Vernonbrew22•60 months

Nothing knocking out the magic of this season

redfish99•60 months

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

MSUDawg98•60 months

Bring on NCAA Football 2022!
