I guess you don’t realize just how hard and rare it is to actually make money being a social media influencer. Don’t let the hype fool you, your average Joe will not make tons of money AND it’s very rare for any influencer to stay relevant and make serious money for 4 years. Majority of them fade out. 4 year college stars have basically garaunteed publicity, and you don’t even have to produce content. You do exactly what you would do before being paid.

'Exactly what you would do before being paid' means pouring hours of their life into honing their craft and sacrificing their bodies beyond what any normal student would do while making their school millions of dollars. Banning someone who excels in a huge industry from making money off their likeness under the guise of amateurism seems downright Un-American to me, personally.
If the NCAA wanted amateurism, that went out the window when the big money started flowing in. Now it's time for them to pay the piper.

Yall act like being a star football player for 3-4 years is some mindless easy task anyone could do. Being an elite D1 star athlete is almost certainly more “work” than anyone in this thread did in 4 years of college.
