You’d think that Herschel Walker would be in favor of the NCAA’s new policy that would allow student-athletes to profit off of their name, image or likeness as soon as 2021. After all, he was easily one of the most well-known college football players of his time and may have been able to benefit from such a policy.

As it turns out, he’s firmly against it.

The Georgia football legend, a national champion in 1980 and Heisman trophy winner in 1982, explained why during an appearance on “The Paul Finebaum Show” on Friday.

“I think many people are going to be upset with me when I say this, but I totally, totally disagree with it,” Walker said. “First of all, you’re going to be talking about athletes now that’s got to worry about taxes…that’s got to get accountants, that’s got to get people to represent them and collect their money.”

Walker’s concerns extended to inside the classroom, as well.

“If you pay athletes, what about their education?” he said. “Are you going to pay them where they’re going to be making enough money that they don’t want to worry about their education now, so what about going to school?”

A potential gap between one student-athlete making a certain amount of money and a teammate playing the same sport, or an athlete playing another sport, making much less also stuck out as a major concern to Walker, as did the potential of programs profiting off of likenesses of former players and not passing along the earnings to those players.

“Now it’s going to be, ‘This guy here’s making money. This guy over here’s not. This team here, the football team, their guys are making money…’ I think that’s wrong,” he said. “Athletes are out there working extremely hard and I’ve said I think they should get a stipend, but when you start paying athletes for their likeness, what are you going to do now? Do you pay Herschel Walker, or Tim Tebow, or Bo Jackson now because they’re going to be using our likeness now?”
