This will fundamentally change college athletics, I'm not sure the Church will

Why would the church care if BYU football players were paid for use of their likeness? They absolutely should be.

I'm not the OP and these aren't necessarily my thoughts. If I had to guess where

This isn't about schools paying players.

IMO this will just remove artificial restrictions from the market and make things better.

Now on to my own thoughts, which are different. More money may well be fair. It

Right, I was addressing the point. Understood that they were not your arguments.

ColumbusCoug

I don't see an issue with players driving cars. Money already drives recruiting, that's why

I don't think it is a negative thing for student-athletes to be given cars but

I don't get why the Church would care about this. It is irrelevant to the Church

Think profiting from name & likeness refers to endorsements from third parties. So under this

Exactly, they would probably bring in some additional cash.

Oh, I'm not a BYU grad... One doesn't have to be THAT smart to know that

Again, this wouldn't require the school to pay anybody anything. Sponsors wouldn't

This is the best path to getting NCAA football back, so I welcome it.

Perhaps it will work in BYU's favor. If players can make a lot of money no matter what school they attend...

I initially thought this but how many national companies will

You don't need national companies. NuSkin, Sigfried & Jensen, and about ten thousand emergency

No no no... Each player gets their own "company" and can recruit downlines!

Agreed. BYU could drop major sports.
