How about they just go to school and play sports?
Good thing because he can’t make minimum wage playing football.Kaepernick makes over $3 million being an "influencer"

Well. It’s working now isn’t it Einstein?Kaepernick makes over $3 million being an "influencer"
Yeah, really hurts me. That’s a pretty dumb thing to say.He made more in the lawsuit settlement from the NFL than you’d make 10 lifetimes over, plus all the money he made during his career plus $3 million more a year when he’s not playing. That hurts you deep inside.
I think the players should be able to make as much as they can while representing their school. However, I think that there should be a cap on how much they receive during their eligibility. Any excess should be banked and paid after eligibility expires. This would help keep a level playing field and dis-incentivize boosters from using it to funnel cash to buy players.
The KEY to this whole deal is going to be and it is my understanding any business deals signed by the players will be reviewed and if a player is being paid over reasonable market value they will risk penalty. That is the only way to keep booster out of paying Lawrence $1 Million dollars to "watch the grass grow". No one wants that because at that point just go pro.
For example if say Fanatics wanted Lawrence to do an autograph signing with them (keep in mind he cant sign any Clemson memorabilia until they work out a co licensing agreement b/c rightfully so if he wants to market himself as a "Clemson QB" Clemson should get some cut) his lawyers would submit to the NCAA an appraisal of what his autograph is worth from a reputable appraiser and if they said it is worth $50 and Fanatics says from history we pay players 50% of retail to do a signing, he would be approved to be paid $25 and autogrpah. I am fine with that model and I think most college fans would be.
In cases like this, Penn State fans SHOULD be VERY happy about this because let's be realistic, Penn State has a big alumni base that has good jobs, well paid, and ready and able to spend money to support what their athletes might be selling or pitching. Penn State's alumni base from a marketing stand point, would be one of the most valuable to reach as a marketer in all of college football. Not for nothing but schools like Clemson, LSU, Oklahoma, and several others will not offer the same markets.
Not really because the players in that position will have lawyers that will represent them at little to no cost to them. Plus they will probably have to submit two reputable third party appraisals, so unless it is way off base I dont see it being a real issue.This arrangement lasts until the first time someone reviewing a contract comes up with a valuation substantially below what's in the contract.
