Master P says he has a $2.5 million dollar deal on the table for son Hercy Miller if NCAA changes the payment rules for college athletes. The No Limit Records founder and business mogul negotiated a product deal that could make his son a multi-million dollar college athlete.
This deal is all dependent on the NCAA rule changes that may take place in August. Current rules for the National Collegiate Athletic Association prohibit student-athletes from making money off their name, image, or likeness (NIL). Third-party endorsements have not been allowed for college students. But that could all change in a few months.
The age-old debate over whether college athletes should get paid is still alive and well. But in this game of tug-of-war, it seems as though the argument for paying student-athletes may finally have the leverage it needs to win.
On Dec. 17, Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced the College Athletics Bill of Rights. Over the years, various bills and initiatives to increase privileges and rights for student-athletes competing in the NCAA have rolled out, but none as comprehensive and forward-thinking as this.
Here is a look at what the NCAA currently has in place, what the College Athletics Bill of Rights would change, and how it will affect student-athletes in the long run.
