And they are off and running to the bank.
$$$$$$$.

I totally, 100% understand college athletes have expenses like any other university student:
cellphone, computer, printer, ink jets, laptop, wireless devices, Apple or Android watch, personal grooming, over the counter meds , a vehicle, good, clothing, shelter.
All athletes do not get a full ride of tuition, university housing ( dorm, single’s apts) , books, fees, tutoring, and even med care.
All do not need or want a university education either.
I totally 100% get many college athletes do not come from homes that can financially support them for all the other expenses and are not secure homes with mentors ( parent, parents ).

I am not totally in favor of this NCAA ruling from what I know of it. I know I do not know everything about it.

It is suppose to give, help, serve those most needy better rights and stuff.

Have the alumni financially help out the athletes for the basics- electronics , small monthly allowance for food, clothing, etc.

This is in the middle between no financial support and the new ruling getting 5-6-7 figures from companies and places for endorsements plus pay outs for agent/ lawyer/ manager ,pr spokesman, accountants, taxes , etc.
Forget classes . There will be simply no time between practices, conditioning in off season, games, business meetings, social life with the entertainers , etc.
If players get signed after 21, good. If not, oh well.
How long can one stay a working college athlete?
Can you be 24- 27 -33 years old still on university football team?
For the now college career athlete earning 5 -6-7 figure salary in endorsements, appearances, etc., so many will be in debt or constantly broke from signing at 18 or a year or two later. Buying…, and buying and lots of people to support.
Since this new ruling is legal ok and is it now, well no takesy backesy now.
I get why many , ThePowersThatBe, want this.
It is also a social experiment by them too.
See how this all plays out and ends up in 10 years.
I can see the lawsuits against NCAA and universities.
Ex athletes.
“I have no education, skills, trade past 12 th grade. I was 18 years old earning a mid 6 figure salary for 4 years. My pro signing chances were out because of a major leg at age 20. NCAA should have let me turn pro at 18 and forgo a university career.
NCAA and my university should have known , that I, as a minor, could not handle the stress, all that money, press and everything at that time in my life. …..”
