South Carolina men’s basketball coach Frank Martin is old-school in a lot of ways. But he’s pretty new-school in his thoughts on player compensation.
He believes they should get something for their likeness, and he’s got a structure for it.
Martin hit on a wide variety of topics as he discussed the fallout of the FBI investigation that swept up his former assistant Lamont Evans. He mentioned things like players possibly befitting from an agent as adviser before leaving the college ranks, and his plan for athletes to earn something from likeness, uniform sales and autographs had a more holistic aim.
