[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 811562, member: 2426"] Is the previous situation where OD was prevented from making money the answer? There was a kicker at UCF who basically had to choose between making money on YouTube and kicking at UCF. I saw an estimate that he is now making $1 million/year on YouTube. Is his audience on YouTube from devoted fans of UCF? I do think it will be extremely difficult to keep schools like Alabama from using this as a pay-for-play system. However, it isn't right to penalize OD's life simply to keep Alabama from cheating. It isn't right to require a kicker at UCF to choose between having a small YouTube channel and competing in college athletics. People concentrate on a few hundred of the 15,000 or so FBS football players. However, there are approximately 460,000 NCAA athletes who are affected by rules meant to control actions related to a few hundred athletes. 458,800 student-athletes are potentially harmed because we are concerned that a running back might make a decision based on money. If you tilt the scales based on number of athletes affected, the previous system was overwhelmingly biased in the wrong direction. [/QUOTE]
