NCAA owns the game, Schools own their brand, Athletes own their image


This simply allows an athlete to market or be reimbursed for the part they own. Any kind of endorsement within the context of the sport being played and/or the school they play for, also requires those other entities to get a share.

This law and others being proposed are pushing the NCAA and schools to create a framework ,i.e., a revenue sharing format, for the athlete to get an appropriate share. For example, if TOTS wants three members of the women's lacrosse team to do a commercial, they go to VT's athlete promotions dept and contracts for the athletes to do the Ad. Everyone then gets their cutand the athletes get a 1099 from VT for their taxes.

There isn't the end of the world and it disincentivizes cheating. There is no need to go under the table to get money to an athlete and it brings fed/state tax auditing more into play. Tax evasion carries a much more significant penalty than anything the NCAA does.
