Message: [QUOTE="SU2NASA, post: 3118564, member: 800"] You really don’t think that boosters won’t pay to acquire a players image rights with no intention for marketing? This is going to open the flood gates to any and everyone getting bought. The bags are going to select high-rated recruits these days. Imagine a world in which if you’re Kevin Plank and you know Maryland needs OL help next year, that you go out and buy the image rights to a new offensive line. The top recruits will still be going to the same places (and maybe a random college or so that has a large net-worth benefactor, like T. Boone Pickens was for Ok State, or maybe Paul Allen for Washington State) - but now it will be everyone else that will be up for grabs. [/QUOTE]
