A bill in Missouri would allow college athletes to make money off their name and their likeness. Supporters say companies and college athletics have been making money off athletes for decades and it's time players get in on the action. Show Less

There’s a fine balance. Keep their scholarship money the same and if they want to build their brand with a 3rd party - let them!

Larry Ewart

There will be problems going forward with NIL. The D1 institutions created this monster by chasing money by way of conference realignment, paying outlandish salaries to coaches,AD’s , etc. The players are only wanting part of the action.

Only if they have passing grades.

Opponents say such a system would exacerbate inequities that already exist among college athletics programs and create a financial burden for schools.

If they do then they also should have to pay for their courses, no scholarships

Elizabeth Spalding

This would make them professionals, just indirectly rather than direct sponsorship.

Fred Colbern

I'd rather see a state law prohibiting state employees from publicly supporting professional or college sports, that includes attending games.

Lois Woods Stevens

99% have full scholarships, that is enough!! It is such a shame that so much is given to athletics.

Max

Many people with scholarships have part time jobs. Are you saying that athletes don't deserve an alternate income source? That seems rather biased to me.

Do you think it's important to have a daily newspaper?

We need to stay informed about the local news that impacts our lives inBend and CO. Need to stay up to date on sheriff and police issues, parking, housing and what the city councils and county commissions are doing

Oakley Taylor

We need all the help to fight fires in our precious state since the feds have cut our funding. This is not a “liberal” or “conservative “ issue. It’s a quality of life issue and the preservation of our communities and the forest that we treasure.

David Komar

but it doesn't need to be a print version. online is just as good.

Latterdaysaint

Yes we need to stay informed but not by a liberal newspaper

Douglas Kaufman

I imagine your idea of a “great” newspaper, would be Pravda or some MAGA run rag, right? (All the Conservative obfuscation, all of the time!) Why you think the Bulletin is a “Liberal” publication, I just don’t get. Now, “The Source”, THAT’S definitely a Liberal rag. (And they’re very good at it!)

Oakley Taylor

Please don’t make this a political division. Let’s be civil and acknowledge all that we have in common; the quality of life in our community.

I have always loved JUST getting the Sunday paper with the Parade magazine and the extras; however, I cancelled my subscription a couple of years ago. I have NEVER had a need or a desire for a DAILY paper.

At the cost to whom?
