I think if you can generate money on the side, neither you nor your team should be penalized by the NCAA, so long as you don't go past a certain limit.
Manziel could make money on the side, as could Cam Newton, as can Jameis Winston, as could the Fab 5, et cetera. That to me is a fair resolution. But Saban is right, the Universities are putting a lot into these players, and I don't think they should be obligated to pay player stipends beyond the current amount.

Problem is then a program can rig a lot of sales for the player which would be the same as paying them.
I think the best answer is a stipend for a gradual change, but I know what will happen is some judge will rule from the bench and it will be free-agency chaos.

JFF scratched off his autograph on thousands of items in the offseason, out of the goodness of his heart which resulted in a damn 6 month NCAA invesitgation. That's just one QB in one offseason. Who the hell is going to monitor every high-profile QB/WR/RB/LB, etc. that chooses to spend their offseason time at signing sessions?
