Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3126963, member: 652"] What drives sports? The players? Who should profit off a player’s likeness? The colleges or players? When Syracuse sold #3 basketball jerseys who was making money? The school or Gerry McNamara? The school was. Why shouldn’t players be able to make some of that money? Boosters if they drop bags and most people believe they do like myself do it for elite recruits. They aren’t dropping bags for Eric Dungey, Jamal Custis, Ryan Nassib type recruits. Those are the recruits we are already getting. This bill isn’t the boogeyman. Players are the sport. Not colleges. College football and college basketball are not amateur athletics. They are free minor leagues for the NBA and NFL. If players can’t get endorsements then coaches shouldn’t either. The college coaches don’t make millions without the athletes. [/QUOTE]
