NCAA- Supreme Court ruling

Wait, so in this scenario, the athletes performs the same function as an ad agency?
I don't think that's how it works. The athlete isn't creating the advertisement. They're participating in it. Why would they get sued? They're just an employee of whoever is creating the advertisement, likely another ad agency.

I'm not defending the litigation. Just predicting it.

I guess the potential threat of frivolous lawsuits is fairly low on the things I'm worried about with this change.

Additionally, if an active Iowa State wrestler competes in the Olympics this summer, he'll get paid for it. If he wins a medal, it's a very good chunk of change....

Medal winners are paid by the Olympics or are you referring to endorsements? What kind of money are we talking about?

I was going to edit my post.

I'm not necessarily defending the litigation. Just predicting it.

I do see some legitimate complaints. As I said before, State employees cannot use their position to compete with private companies.

There will be issues. Some will be legitimate beefs, some will be frivolous. All will cost a lot of money.

Not that I am criticizing the legal profession, mind you...

USOC pays athletes that get medals I believe.

Based on what you’ve said in this thread nothing is a legitimate beef so far.

Alabama QB Bryce Young approaching $1M in endorsement deals, says coach Nick Saban

Alabama coach Nick Saban says sophomore quarterback Bryce Young is nearing $1M in endorsement deals since the NCAA allowed athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness. Young is the presumptive favorite to be named the Crimson Tide's starter.
