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.

That’s already going on. At least now that money will be taxed.
