OR...ban people from using their image. They don't own their jerseys.
Amateurs need to be amateurs.
go to college FOR FREE, brehsU.S. was built on labor exploitation
Them NCAA suits ain't gonna give up their plantation without a fight
So why can't they just go pro?
Their names shouldn't be exploited, but schools shouldn't sell personally branded items either.

Like I've always said - the solution to this is really simple: when the kid shows up to school, offer him (2) options -
1. Be an amateur and abide by all the rules of amateurism while you are enrolled here as a student. Tuition, room, board paid for.
2. Make money in whatever pursuit you wish. No scholarship.
Think about how many players would take option 2

Or why can't there be no stipulations at all and make that shyt a free market like everything else?
If school A just wants to compensate player x in the form of a scholarship then so be it. But if school B comes into the picture and say hey we'll give you a scholarship a percentage of your jersey sales and this wonderful booster says he'll give you $50k to play with us, then that should be acceptable as well.
My problem isn't that schools don't pay players it's these bullshyt rules that restrict them from being paid in any manner.

You'd have to at least propose a system offering a level playing field. School B will get every great recruit in that system.
Because its unfair if theres no real amateur alternative outside of college and to other sports. What about Hockey? Or Field Hockey? Or swimming?
The fact is, there might as well be amateur leagues for all pro-sports like in Europe.
Create "football academies" or leagues like they do in Europe for baseball, football, basketball, etc. Its part of the reason US Soccer sucks so much because all our good talent is fukking around in college when they need to be competing internationally.
Its a uniquely american problem, yes, but other sports need that funding too.
That's basically how things are being run right now anyways at a lot of these schools if we're being honest with ourselves. Maybe a salary cap or something
