Rant

Todd Gurley was caught signing autographs for a memorbilia dealer for reportedly $8-$25 per autograph. I went to espn and their question of the day was should Gurley be deemed ineligble and there were three answers: Yes
                                          No, but he should be suspended
                                          No.

Yes 30%, No but suspended 34% and No 36%.   I found this very interesting. Basically the poll is spilit into 70% don't think he should be suspended, and 30% do...why do i find this interesting?? 70% are essentially saying they don't agree with the ncaa's rule that a player can't profit off his own likeness...I thought this was all cleared up during the o'bannon lawsuit. Ok, so the school can make money off a players likeness, a store can make money off a players likeness but a player can't? I don't really understand why the ncaa has this rule, never have? Can a college player trademark his likeness? like the Jordon logo? Does the ncaa have a rule against this? What if a player trademarks his own logo and puts it on anything that's not whatever sports jersey he plays in...they are being entrepeuners and have their own business...I get the not paying of college athletes, they do get a lot and the ones that "starve" and "struggle" please give me a freakin' break...big college programs, get 5 star food, 5 star gyms, coaches, access to doctors/trainers/physical therapists/nutrionists/counselors/tutors/online classes/stipends and free equipment that sponsors donate to them but I don't see how it's legal for one nor constituional for the ncaa to say you can not profit off your likeness...they need to find a loophole and get the ncaa out of here.
