Marquette athletic director Bill Scholl and head men’s basketball coach Steve Wojciechowski voiced their support for athletes to profit off their names, images and likenesses, they told reporters prior to and after Tuesday’s exhibition against St. Norbert.
The NCAA’s Board of Governors, its top governing body, voted unanimously in support of allowing athletes to make money off their names, images and likenesses Tuesday morning. However, it comes with some restrictions.
The fifth-year athletic director said the NCAA needs to have some “guardrails” though to ensure it remains in control.
“There have to be some market kind of analytics put into it,” Scholl said.
