[QUOTE="n2sooners, post: 2205584, member: 26539"] Perhaps the answer is to let the athletes themselves profit from their own likenesses. Since athletes have limited time to work, allow them to work in advertising. They could allow the stars to keep a percentage of what they earn in advertising and put the rest into a fund used to help athletes who aren't stars. Let them get a cut of the product sales that involve them such as numbered jerseys and photographs. They could make money for themselves, for their fellow student athletes, and promote the university at the same time. It's about the only way I can see to bring in more money without the risk of forcing cuts elsewhere. They could even put caps on how much you can make to help cut back on the increased disadvantages smaller universities would suffer and so it wouldn't degrade into a pay to play scheme. [/QUOTE]
