Yeah, that’s a good point, regarding “identity,” but one that sorta faded a bit when video games stopped including college players’ names. But, yeah, if the schools or Nike/Adidas/etc were selling jerseys with college players names, I always ought that money should have been put into a post-college ‘trust’ or somesuch. Paid out after schooling, and in a standardized format. Some sort of way that did not make it a competitive imbalance factor for programs to exploit.

As far as “digital representation,” if that means television broadcasts, I’d say No, that’s part of the game and you are choosing to play in order to showcase your potential to the pay level. That’s just part of the deal. Players don’t pay for uniforms or meals or training facilities or coaches or transportation/flights or hotels…. That’s all part of the deal.

Isn’t that standard practice in the onboarding of most industries? You take a job at Glaxo and then while working there you create The Bald Cure… Yamaha and you come up with some sort of a robot butcher… or you’re a food scientist at McDs and come up with the Steak McNugget…. You’re probably not entitles to billions. The company owns your work and products.
