Update- NCAA says athletes may profit from name, image and likeness

Here is the article from ESPN, a committee of "top decision makers" in the NCAA is meeting today to discuss. I think a good point made within the article is that the NCAA dragged it's feet so long on this that it's likely too late for them to decide how to implement the rules (oversight/restrictions). The California law passed with no real restrictions or oversight on endorsements, etc. Article also mentioned that dozens of other states are considering legislation similar to that of California and there's a push for a federal law as well. The NCAA really screwed this up by kicking the can down the road for so long and not addressing it, not that surprises anyone. Michael Drake, president of Ohio State University and chairman of the NCAA's board of governors said that the NCAA is willing to evolve, which is laughable considering what it took to get them to even start to "evolve".
