Hall of Famer
I should've known the NCAA would've pulled off some sucker shit. You know something? I never really put it this way, but this shit is totally un-American. They always tell us that if you work hard, you can aspire to be great in this country.fucksakes - i just dont get it - kids in other mediums at college are able to make money off their own likeness and brand as influencers or youtubers or podcasters etc. with absolutely no fuss or anything
and then you've got these kids who are made to work for their colleges like they're professionals in that industry without any recompense beyond a scholarship with no guarantee they'll make any money in the NFL if they even make it there
but they also have no ability to do anything extracurricular at their college or even work a job elsewhere to make money - they are hamstrung by these restrictions and it is only these "student athletes"
Hell, the NCAA always talks about making these guys better men or whatever. The NCAA is essentially prohibiting these young men from practicing entrepreneurship. It's so ass-backwards as they should be ENCOURAGING players and applauding those who are successful.
