I don't agree with how that would really solve the whole thing. I stated in a previous post that the elite players will still get 'additional money' from some place to go to some other place AND collect the stipend just like the schmuck who plays 2nd string right field (no offense intended here) in baseball.

Now some other things he stated I could agree with or slightly thought they made sense ... paying a player for their name (on a shirt) or likeness I can see, maybe establishing a fund that they can collect after college career is over.

I was astonished on how cavalier Mr Bilas thought this all to be .... (I believe he is or was a lawyer too, wasn't he? ).

His attitude: Everyone knew so what's the big deal here just change the rules to make it 'official' come on NCAA do the right thing!
You can't sell anything with players names or likeness. It is an NCAA violation.
