Best article I have read yet with a brutally honest assessment of USC athletics:
https://www.latimes.com/sports...-20190312-story.html
And for those with no time to read, the funniest but sadly true statement in the article:
"The great irony is that at least one of the fake athletes who gained admission to USC, social media influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli, appears to be profiting from her likeness. The NCAA prohibits real college athletes from doing that."

So Bob Smith, the hypothetical 3rd string catcher on the worst D1 baseball team in the country can't start a summer lawn service called "Bob Smith's Lawn Service"? That's a head-scratcher.

athlete’s name, photograph, appearance or athletics reputation are not used to promote the business.
