College athletes have been making a big push to be allowed to profit off their name and likeness.
Various states have already signed off on legislation to do so in the near future including California, Colorado, and Florida. The first of these to go into effect will be Florida’s which starts on July 1, 2021.
On Friday, Kentucky Wildcats nose guard Marquan McCall took to Twitter to take a stand for college athletes to make it clear that it was time for change.
Not long after McCall sent out the tweet, he added to it noting that student-athletes aren’t asking for much but just enough to justify the amount of money that the schools are making each year based on their play.
