Miami case reason for college athletes to get endorsement deals

I don't agree with Wetzel on everything in the article but it is interesting nonetheless. I do agree with him completely on the "sham" of amateurism. College athletics hasn't been amateur in 3 decades.
Yet in college athletics, one party (the school) not only claims it's perfectly cool for it to get paid, it celebrates the generosity by honoring the benefactors and naming student lounges and the like after them. Then, at the same time, school officials claim it's completely wrong and immoral for money to go directly to the other party (the players) and create a near federal case out of it that will destroy careers and cost millions of additional dollars they need other boosters to cover.
