Condoleezza Rice backtracks, says NCAA athletes should benefit from name, image and likeness

The Commission spent seven months reviewing potential recommendations, all with hopes of ending the corruption in the sport and creating pathways for student-athlete success.

Originally, they decided it was in the sport’s best interest to end the one-and-done, allow student-athletes to receive earlier assistance from agents, and earn an actual education (*cough* UNC *cough*).

Still, though, the organization decided student-athletes had no business receiving monetary benefits while in college.

KSR’s Aaron Torres wrote a piece at the time about how the NCAA Commission accomplished little-to-nothing in their original recommendations and failed to address the real issues that plagued college basketball.
