That's a recipe for serious jealousy & infighting in the locker room.

Yeah. And that's *NOT* a good thing.

Seems like an easy way for donors to classify illicit payments as endorsements

Allow athletes to profit off themselves and likeness. College pays nothing.

this I would be fine with. Charge 5$ for autographs or whatever. CAPITALISM!

I agree with this, but I'd tweak one thing.

Turning them into employees would be a disaster. So many unforeseen issues.

Allow for semi pro leagues (make the g leauge a viable option) and get rid of education requirements for pro leagues

I agree with Tebow, making college athletes professional will destroy

I don’t like them getting paid by the college, but they should be free to make money anyway they want
