I do find it interesting in this whole deal (and I can't comment for the entire thread because I haven't read it all), that almost nobody mentions that the professional leagues, particularly the NFL due to the lack of other options and the three-year requirement, have effectively made going to college a prerequisite to playing in their league.
I'm not saying that the players shouldn't be able to make money on their likenesses. In fact, the Court's opinion was probably pretty reasonable to balance the interests of all involved--particularly in light of the Power 5 autonomy. But, while the NCAA gets hammered in public opinion, nobody blames the pro leagues for really blocking individuals from making the money in the first place.
