On the latest episode of At the Buzzer, we bring in guest Jeremy Bloom to discuss the NCAA and paying student-athletes. He talks about the California bill that ruled student-athletes are allowed to profit off their likeness, the NCAA statement that they will permit athletes to profit under a “collegiate model,” and what the future of this issue may be.
Bloom is a cult hero in Colorado Buffaloes history as he was a dynamic receiver and returner, in addition to being the #1 ranked skier in the world. Bloom played two seasons at CU after competing in the 2002 Olympics, but the NCAA ruled him ineligible because of his skiing endorsement deals.
