With the introduction of the \u201cFair Pay to Play Act\u201d in 2023, the NCAA will not be same. All college athletes in the NCAA divisions will be paid for the use of their likeliness. Jersey and ticket sales but also commercials will be opportunities for the athletes to earn some money during their college career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This topic splits the college athletics community, with many supporters but also people who think that this might be the beginning of the end of the NCAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tom Maxon, head coach of the Morningside College soccer teams, has a more critical view on the \u201cFair Pay to Play Act\u201d. Maxon said \u201cThe idea makes sense; many players are struggling financially during college and after but it will be really unbalanced\u2019. Maxon fears that the act could affect a few amount players positively but the majority will not be seeing the big money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mike Krzyzewski, head coach of Duke University, is one of those impactful supporters. Coach K talked positive about \u201cAct 206\u201d at the ACC conference media day, saying \u201cWe need to stay current\u201d. Even though Duke will not be affected by the act until the state of North Carolina signs the act, too, Coach K has the opinion that this will make more athletes want to play college sports. \u201c\u2026we have not always responded to the needs and right of our players swiftly and frankly\u2026\u201d Krzyzewski added in his statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morningside senior and former basketball player, Usa Suud, sees a progress with the agreement of the act. \u201cit is a step into the right direction, especially for athletes who are capable of making it into the pro leagues, but get injured during college. in the past those athletes were left with nothing\u2026 Hopefully other states will follow the example soon\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Women\u2019s soccer player and Sophomore at MC, Kenzie Homan, has a skeptical view on the execution of the act. \u201cI understand the step they are trying to take but it would be fair to have equal salaries between both genders\u2026 Men might generate more attention but female athletes put in just as much work\u201d.\u201d Women could be the losers of this act\u201d, Homan added and this opinion is wide spread in the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
