Reggie Bush has some concerns about the NCAA’s impending name, image and likeness legislation.
After pushing back on the issue for years, the NCAA — after receiving significant political pressure — is relenting and will allow its athletes to be compensated for the use of their NIL. The money would come from things like endorsement deals or social media advertisements and cannot include an athlete’s college and conference branding or logo.
Bush, who won the Heisman Trophy as a star running back at USC before an 11-year NFL career, said in an interview with Playboy that getting money at that young of an age is “going to destroy some people” if they don’t have the proper guidance in their corner.
