From Newsmax:
Alabama quarterback Bryce Young has already made almost $1 million in sponsorship and endorsement money, according to Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban, Yahoo Sports has reported.
Saban’s statement comes as college athletes nationwide have been permitted since July 1 to make money off their name and image rights after the NCAA rescinded its restrictive rules limiting the rights of athletes due to state laws superseding NCAA rules.
Saban made his comments at the Texas High School Coaches Association convention, saying that Young “already has approached ungodly numbers. I’m not going to say what they are. He hasn’t even played yet. He hasn’t been a starter. If I told you what he’s … it’s almost 7-figures,” according to 24/7 Sports.

Capitalism is the American way and college athletes deserve to control and be reimbursed for use of their name, image and likeness. Yet if this story is true, it would seem NIL may serve to widen the competitive advantage of certain schools that already dominate. What are your thoughts?
