WATCH: Tim Tebow passionately shares his belief that college football should not allow players to profit off their likeness
Published:
If you haven’t been following the news out of California, the state has passed a bill that would allow college athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness, starting in 2023.
This doesn’t mean players would necessarily be paid to play, as some have suggested, but would allow players with market value to advertise with businesses and products that want to use them as sponsors. Essentially, colleges would not be allowed to pay players but businesses and advertisers could be allowed to do so in the state of California.
Following this news, the NCAA has threatened to ban all schools from the state of California from competing for NCAA championships.
During a recent episode of ESPN show “First Take,” former Gator legend Tim Tebow was asked to share his thoughts on the idea of players being able to profit off their name, image and likeness.
To say he is not a fan would be to put it lightly.
