Over the past few weeks, the landscape of college athletics has seen a seismic shift with regards to Name, Image, and Likeness rights. This shift has long been impending, with many advocating for college athletes to have the ability to profit from their own likeness. One individual who knows firsthand the struggles and frustrations of navigating the NCAA’s strict rules regarding compensation is former college football star Johnny Manziel. In a recent interview on the Shay Shay Room podcast, Manziel shared his thoughts on the NCAA’s long-overdue changes to NIL rules. Manziel’s perspective on this issue is especially valuable considering his own experiences. During his time at Texas A&M University, Manziel became a household name and a football sensation. However, despite his incredible success and the significant revenue he generated for his university, Manziel was not allowed to capitalize on his own brand. In the interview, Manziel expressed his support for the recent changes in NCAA rules regarding NIL. He emphasized the importance of allowing college athletes to monetize their own brands and likenesses, stating that it “just makes sense.”
Manziel also addressed concerns about potential brand conflicts and boosters promising large sums of money to recruits for endorsement deals in exchange for athletic performance or attendance at a particular institution.
