One of the many answers that would fix more than it would hurt. I get (to an extent) how paying kids directly from the college itself would be an issue, but if they go out and sign with Nike or Adidas or New Balance and do commercials/ads whatever, why does that hurt the NCAA? Why should the NCAA care if these kids are making money when they are in college?
Lavar Ball looking more and more like a genius everyday.
Especially when any other student could work a paid internship there, using their skills. The blocker is that the NCAA and universities worry it would contradict the exclusivity of their own branding contracts. So maybe this FBI investigation takes those branding contracts away. Then there's no conflict.
