Smart move by the NCAA, but they have to sift through very muddy waters to get it close to right, won't be easy.

Yes, this is going to be complicated and will likely turn into a big mess. It's going far beyond a player having their likeness in a video game and may end up being the undoing of college sports as we know it. Don't take this to mean that I don't agree with payers being paid because I do. I just think this is going to turn into a giant sh..t show.

What about gear? Can players sale gear or has that not been determined yet?
