College athletes shouldn’t be charity cases; they’re entrepreneurs now. This bill just says ‘play ball and get paid,’ plain and simple.

If these kids want to play pro, let them earn pro money—don’t force taxpayers to foot the bill forever. Free market rules, even on campus.

Finally, college athletes can hustle without the NCAA playing the loan shark. It’s about time the players get a slice, not just the schools.

Let’s give these athletes the freedom to cash in and break down the old boys’ club monopoly. Justice on the field means justice in the paycheck.

This bill says 'you play, you get paid'—because amateurism shouldn’t mean poverty. Exploiting athletes under the guise of education is so last century.

Finally, stripping bureaucrats from dictating what players can do with their own names. It’s their brand; let them profit without Big Brother’s hand on their wallet.

Empowering athletes is good, but balance is key—education can’t become just a backdrop for endorsement deals. A win-win means both sides keep their eye on the ball.

This bill opens doors, but who’s really walking through? Hope it doesn’t just create a new set of agents and middlemen cashing checks.

Fair shake for the players, but let’s keep an eye on the slippery slope of commercialization. College sports shouldn’t turn into a free-for-all carnival.
