The NCAA is exploring allowing its athletes to be compensated for their name, image and likeness. Ray Tanner is worried about that.
“This is a personal opinion but when I see name, image, likeness it makes me feel like it is pay for play,” South Carolina’s athletics director said. “I’m like, ‘This gives me angst.’ ”
Southeastern Conference commissioner Greg Sankey feels the same way.
“My stance hasn’t changed since I testified in the (Ed) O’Bannon case,” Sankey said. “I think the funding and financial support provided to student-athlete is appropriately tied to their educational pursuits. There is a period at the end of that sentence.”
