O’Bannon decision to file the case was informed by the video game he saw at a friend’s place. The that suggests that the NCAA cannot license the NIL of student athletes on a team based level. Therefore the decision in O’Bannon allows the NCAA to amend its bylaws so as it can recoup NIL licensing fees from sports teams. In a nutshell college students are as good as the professional players at what they do. Hence it would be unfair and illegal to deny them the compensation realized from the use of their names and images for commercial purposes. The benefits of the O’Bannon’s decision notwithstanding colleges are still looking for appropriate ways of educating the college athletes on matters money management in order to prevent them from squandering everything they get from their cumulative earnings.
