    This is what I thought as well. Athletes would be able to collect on commercial use of their image/likeness as below:

    "NCAA Football" was one of EA Sports' top-selling titles prior to its cancellation. Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson signaled earlier this month, weeks after California passed a law allowing college athletes to sign endorsement deals, that the company was open to producing a new version if legal obstacles related to student-athlete compensation subsided.

    "Our position is we would love to build a game," Wilson said during an interview at the Wall Street Journal Tech Live conference. "If there's a world where the folks who govern these things are able to solve for how to pay players for the use of their name and likeness and stats and data, we would jump at the opportunity to build a game in a heartbeat."

    Towards the end of the 30-for-30 on the Fab Five, Mitch Albom is listening to Chris Webber complain that his jersey is being sold for $75 apiece and he doesn't get a cut. Under these new rules that would change. But it wouldn't necessarily be Michigan paying Webber a salary per se. At least this is how I understand the rule change (and I admit I may not have this right).

      You may well be right (and I hope you are) but the real answer is that nobody knows what this is ultimately going to come to. The NCAA has remanded the issue for study and policy development, and nothing of substance is expected before 2021. IMO, even if whatever NCAA policy emerges is narrowly drawn so it is limited to things like royalties for use of images and likenesses, etc., the genie will have been released from the bottle so I can't believe it will stop there.

      Don't kid yourself. For the big guys, the end game is play for pay under whatever guise (stipend/allowance/grant/salary) works.

        Today there is a lot of discussion about white privilege but in the deepest darkest days of Jim Crow laws whites never had the advantage over blacks that athletes today enjoy over the rest of the students. That should be the real discussion, athlete privilege in universities.

        Is it because the world of sophisticated left coast liberals has been turned upside down by Midwesterners who have just fallen off the turnip truck and southern hillbillies who have risen above them in athletic competition? Is it the money managers and lawyers who see more potential clients? Are alumni tired of paying star athletes under the table and want recognition for their efforts? Anybody know?
        Athletes go around campus lynching other students en masse just for picking up a book? Jocks beating up professors because they got a bad grade in Business Administration 101? No? Then don't try to compare modern college athletics to the terror of the Jim Crow South again. If you want to discuss the financials go right ahead. Leave the white supremacy and QAnon conspiracy theories off this board.

          Re: NCAA Hockey Financials

          I'm still waiting for Minnesota State's 2017 & 2018 financials to finish updating my spreadsheet, but I wanted to respond to Jim Connelly's comment "for the two Alaskans schools, this is their problem. Funding for these programs is inadequate and needs to be bolstered and not reduced." in the latest TMQ .

          Looking at their NCAA financial reports for 2010-2018 (and the EADAs for Alabama Huntsville and Minnesota State for 2017 & 2018) shows that both schools have spent more than most of the the other WCHA teams. Since the new WCHA formed in 2013 Anchorage has had the highest average spending, with Fairbanks fourth:

          Average hockey program expenses 2013-18 (in millions)
          Alaska Anchorage 2.39
          Northern Michigan 2.31
          Michigan Tech 2.30
          Alaska Fairbanks 2.28
          Minnesota State 2.20
          Bowling Green 1.65
          Bemidji State 1.64
          Alabama Huntsville 1.46
          Ferris State 1.39
          Lake Superior 1.22

          For the 2017-18 season both Alaska schools did slightly reduce their spending, but still were 3rd and 5th:
          Northern Michigan 2.69
          Michigan Tech 2.40
          Alaska Anchorage 2.33
          Minnesota State 2.19
          Alaska Fairbanks 2.09
          Bowling Green 1.85
          Bemidji State 1.70
          Alabama Huntsville 1.52
          Ferris State 1.43
          Lake Superior 1.14

          Of 30 public schools (excluding Army) Northern Michigan is 14th overall for 2017-18, MTU is 18th, UAA is 20th, Minnesota State is 22nd and UA_ is 24th, with the other five at the bottom (26th-30th). And when looking at the reported expenses from the EADAs for the private schools NMU is 22nd out of 59 schools, MTU is 29th, UAA is 31st, Minnesota State is 33rd, UA_ is 37th, Bowling Green is 40th, Bemidji State is 44th, Alabama Huntsville is 45th, Ferris State is 49th and Lake Superior State is 56th (the other bottom six schools do not offer scholarships). So, if the two Alaska schools are underfunded what does that say about Bowling Green, Bemidji State, Alabama Huntsville, Ferris State and Lake Superior State?

            It would be interesting to see travel broken out from the Alaska schools' budgets. Could that be the difference?

              Travel is a huge chunk of all A$a schools.

                  It is part of the difference, but not all of it.

                  Average travel expenses 2013-18 (2013-16 for MSUM) in thousands:
                  Alaska Fairbanks 364
                  Alaska Anchorage 325
                  Michigan Tech 250
                  Minnesota State 242
                  Bowling Green 199
                  Ferris State 173
                  Lake Superior 169
                  Bemidji State 157

                  Travel expenses 2018 in thousands:
                  Alaska Fairbanks 367
                  Michigan Tech 310
                  Northern Michigan 278
                  Alaska Anchorage 259
                  Bemidji State 205
                  Bowling Green 193
                  Ferris State 156
                  Lake Superior 152

                  Guarantees also are part of the difference.
                  Average Guarantees 2013-18 in thousands:
                  Alaska Fairbanks 248
                  Alaska Anchorage 115

                  2018 guarantees in thousands:
                  Alaska Fairbanks 187
                  Alaska Anchorage 97

                    FWIW, I did a quick check of these schools endowments, they are paltry compared to those of many other schools, in fact the endowment TOTAL of these schools don't come close to a single Big Ten school (in the billions)and are a drop in the bucket of most Ivies(in the tens of billions), I would guess each Ivy school gets more from just one dead alumni each year than all these schools have managed to accumulate in total

                    Lake Superior = 14 million

                      Sometimes size matters, but I think ultimately it comes down to the type of degrees you offer (i.e., where alums can get higher paying jobs) and the "private" school factor, since usually higher income families can more easily afford the private over public schools. And of course reputation, but I think outside of the really highly reputable schools, like Ivies, it doesn't play as big of a factor as size, degrees offered, and private vs. public. Just my hunch.

                      As an example, I looked up my alma mater's endowment, a small state school (at one time the smallest college in the SUNY system, until a bunch of 2-year schools turned into 4-year schools, who are even smaller) -- Potsdam State.

                      Potsdam has an endowment of $29 million. Despite the size of the school, it is one of the largest endowments among colleges (not universities) in the SUNY system. Part of that I suspect is due to its very strong computer science (which is what I went for) and math programs, degrees that pay a lot in the real world. (And I'm sure a music school producing Rene Fleming got a lot of donations from her, LOL)

                      But then I looked up the other North Country schools, and it should be no surprise the ratio of cost of school is directly related to the size of the endowment.

                      Clarkson -- $186 mil.
                      St. Lawrence -- $306 mil.

                        I didn't look up all the endowments, but the top 100 listed on The Best Schools website article The 100 Richest Universities: Their Generosity and Commitment to Research include all 8 Ivies and 14 Big Ten schools, plus Notre Dame, Boston College and Boston University among schools that have DI men's hockey programs. I created a list of the 25 schools, plus the WCHA schools as well as Clarkson and St. Lawrence. I have given the endowment rank for the those in the top 100, as well as their hockey expenses rank for 2017-18 and their hockey expenses as a % of their endowment.

                        Since they don't give out athletic scholarships the Ivies rank among the bottom schools for hockey expenses along with the WCHA schools, while the B1G schools ranks among the top, alomg with Notre Dame, Boston College and Boston University. However, as percentage of their endowments their hockey expenses are a fraction of 1%, while for the WCHA teams it ranges from Bowling Green's 1.3% to Lake Superior's 8.1% (the WCHA schools overall athletic budgets run between UA_'s 5.0% of their endowment (an outlier as the next lowest is UAH's 10.0%) and Bemidji's 30.7%).

                        Speaking of endowments, I recall that when the recession hit a decade ago Harvard's endowment was about where it is now, but they lost between 10 and 11 billion dollars in 2008-09 (Yale lost around $7 billion).

                          A relevant point to note here: UAH is only 60 or so years old, and its roots as a commuter school have not led to a sustained base in donations from alumni. Now that the school houses a solid population on campus (perhaps a majority now ... I haven't seen the numbers), that may change in the next two decades.
