Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 2949609, member: 338"] Schools will now need to have a department of financial advisors and guidance counselors to keep 18-year-olds from getting into trouble or blowing their money. Add another line item to the sports budget. I bet that coaches don't have any problem with kids profiting off their likenesses... as long as the windfall doesn't lead to off-field problems that impact performance. The current remuneration is the college scholarship and degree, with all it entails. It's a deferred benefit contingent on completing the degree. I would be happier if a system were devised wherein the monies were placed into a trust to be redeemed on exiting amateur status, than if the money were to be realized immediately. [/QUOTE]
