Oliver on NCAA amateurism

[Benny B]

Does the university (or the large organization made up of universities) prohibit the flute player from taking money from the local orchestra while on scholarship?

Does the school (or organization) own the rights to the flute player's likeness forever?

Does the school steer the flute player into sham classes to keep the flute player academically eligible?

They could.

They don't.  But they don't "own" basketball players' likenesses either.

Depends on how big of donors his/her parents are.


And it's not "flute player;" it's "flautist," you flutes.

My son was a tromboner in junior high, I don't care that it is truly a trombonist, he was a tromboner
