Article on the Pay for Play Dilemma of College Athletes

Roger M. Groves recently published an Article entitled, A Solution for the Pay for Play Dilemma of College Athletes: A Novel Compensation Structure Tethered to Amateurism and Education, 17 Tex. Rev. Ent. & Sports L. 101 (2016). Provided below is an abstract of the Article:

Assume that a football team was so collectively incensed by the inaction of the university president that they vowed not to play again for the university until the president resigns or is fired by the university’s governing body. Indeed the president resigned and the events became a national story.

What if certain players or the team collectively then wrote a book, or created a TV documentary or recorded a song about their stand against the president? Should they be allowed to put the profits from the use of their own name, image and likeness into a trust fund to be paid out after they can no longer play for the university?
