I agree that players should have the ability to make money from their likeness, but JB raises fair points.  I also believe that assistant coaches getting paid less than other coaches is different than some athletes getting paid nothing while others athletes make money.  My biggest concern is that the ones looking to get paid may try to show boat instead of buying into the team concept.

Now this of course happens at other levels, so I think players and coaches will find a way to work together.  But simply telling jealous players to get over it or play better is not going to be the solution.

On a somewhat unrelated note, people have voiced concern over alumni boosters paying big bucks to get players to come play at their school.  I don't see any problem with this.  It's not my money and it's not the school's either.  Will it lead to less parity?  Probably, though I think it's overblown.  However, if it leads to players being able to benefit from their unique and superb abilities, I'm cool with that.
