You have no clue what this law is saying. It allows players to get paid SEPERATELY FROM THE SCHOOL for their likeness. It means EA Sports can pay them, it means they can hold summer camps and charge for their services and training of kids in the sport, it means they can charge for their autograph. This isn’t about making colleges pay each player.

All these things are already legal.

They will just be declared ineligible by the NCAA and there isn't a damn thing the government can do about it.

Boosters will happily pay for autographs that will have no commercial value, but it will be a way to pay athletes by boosters. John Booster will happily let word get out that he will pay $50k to any football recruit who signs with Smith State University. He just has to contract to sell an autograph for $50k.

The law will have unintended consequences because ultimately there will be a boosters’ bidding war that has little to do with the actual commercial value of a particular athlete’s image.
