Players should not be paid by the university or be allowed to receive cash directly from alumni. However, I think should they have a name, likeness or skill that is marketable, they should be allowed to seek compensation for that before or after the football season.

This is obsurd. It would ruin the game we all love. God I can't wait until that poison pill JFF is gone. He is ruining CFB.

Again, what's to stop schools or alumni from promising a recruit $200k for his appearance at a Car Dealership once he commits? Who dictates what jerseys should be sold? Should a player be allowed to transfer without losing a year if he feels that his profitability is higher at another school?

The problem with the Olympic model is that different teams/fanbases aren't competing for the athletes' to play for them in the Olympics.
