Should we pay players?

Paying college athletes has been building up over the years it's bound to happen sooner or later. Allowing athletes to earn endorsements on the side is a lot better than allowing boosters to pay them under the table which is already a problem. It's not like all athletes will earn tons of money from local car and business commercials when their status or names could be used to boost small businesses. Many people don't understand that this allows college players to essentially trademark their own names, it's not paying all players, just those who have the status to gain a profit from in advertising etc.

My only qualm with it is that it should be implemented uniformly throughout the nation. Whichever states that choose to incorporate it, the best prospects will flock to. Be sure that many states will pass it by 2023.

**Meant better than allowing boosters to pay them directly or under the table
