“The NCAA can’t be trusted,” ex CU Buffs WR and Olympian Jeremy Bloom says of NIL vote

The NCAA said all the right things Tuesday. But count Jeremy Bloom among those who think the actions from here on out will speak louder than any words.

“If I had a microphone on a national stage, I would encourage the states to kind of ignore this and focus on state legislation for student-athletes,” Bloom, the former CU Buffs wideout and Olympic skier told the Denver Post on Tuesday, after the NCAA announced that its board of governors voted to allow student-athletes to receive payments for the use of their name, image or likeness, or NIL for short.
