Syracuse Orange men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim provided his viewpoint on the California law that would allow NCAA players to profit off their likeness on Tuesday at ACC Media Day.
The law, signed a week ago, prevents ineligibility, or schools otherwise punishing athletes for cashing in on signing events, YouTube ad revenue or promotional deals. It would be the first move to allow student athletes to be paid through non-scholarship means. Though the bill still doesn’t give schools the right to pay the players.
On the David Glenn Show, Boeheim worried about internal divisions and resentment forming over income inequality among players.
