This is going to snowball quickly, and players profiting off their likeness is probably unavoidable. Anyone here who thinks we’ll maintain the status quo is delusional.
The “scholarship or endorsements, your choice” solution is still the most solid I’ve heard, even though it’s not perfect as @jhfstyle24 illustrated
Schools are going to dump any player marketing and it won't matter a bit to them. The player's 'likeness' won't be out there any longer bc they won't be shown on any advertising/marketing, etc. Fans will know they are playing only by the number on their back, since the schools will take all names or likeness out of the mix. They think this is going to be big for the students when the NCAA and/or school will simply strip any publicity for the individual player and still get the crowds. I'm for schollie or endorsie and counting towards the limit, but I believe things will change really quick once we go down that slope. Oh, you are injured.... damn, hope your Twitch channel keeps doing well while the team promotes the schollie players and getting their name out there.
