Another idea for paying college athletes is following the Olympic model of amateurism. Well, sort of. This proposed idea allows colege athletes to control their own marketing rights. Things such as agents, commercials, even sponsorship’s. University of New Haven professor Allen Sack, who also played football at Notre Dame, says. “Anybody who can write a business plan is able to make money from big-time college sports-except the athletes themselves” when discussing the idea of the Olympic model. He goes on to say, “Unlike a system that offers stipends or pays athletes directly, this wouldn’t cost the NCAA or any of its member institutions a nickel. The financial burden would land with the shoe companies, multinational corporations and local car dealerships who want to enlist the athletes to help them push products.”

Come play for me at UCLA. We are the home of all the major production companies who can get your name and face out there. Plus the 2nd largest media market in the country makes sure people will see you. More eyeballs = More $$$. Don't go play for Tennessee. Knoxville? Middle of nowhere. Advertising revenue won't be as great there.
