Message: [QUOTE="BlazeOrange, post: 1751878, member: 683"] The objective isn't to [U]pay [/U]anyone, but to allow everyone to earn additional income from outside sources while they're playing. Endorsement deals are easy and companies that realize that star players won't be all that famous without a strong supporting cast will spread some money around to favored teams. Video game naming rights could get tricky - might result in players having to negotiate some kind of blanket deal. Or the games might just have certain players in them. If a players union is needed as a conduit for a licensing agreement, then it would be a matter of time before they tried to get a piece of the TV network deals. And that slope would worry the universities. [/QUOTE]
