NCAA prepares for laws that will allow student-athletes to profit

The NCAA board of directors will vote today on whether or not to allow college athletes to profit off their own name, image and likeness, as six states move forward with their own laws that would allow students to do so. Edward Scott the vice president and director of athletics at Morgan State University joined CBSN to discuss the future of college sports.

Hallelujah! It was a shame that these young people were exploited by everyone without any personal profit. This is the end of a hypocritical and immoral situation.

Weird. It’s almost like there should be an entirely separate league in which players are simply paid a salary. Almost like a “professional” league.

They told us because of our scholarships, we don't deserve outside Yet not everyone on the teams gets a scholarship and they have to get loans.... even though there are companies willing to help students that don't receive that aid. And now those students that receive a lot of sponsors don't need the extra aid, now that there is more money coming in. And we can continue our Youtube CHANNELS :D

Spectator sports should not be part of any educational environment. Athletic programs for.children"a and young adults' health, yes, bit spectator sports has zero value to an educational environment. It belongs in the entertainment world.
