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 believe the POTUS should have broad authority to impose tariffs on other countries?

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
