Their play creates A LOT of revenue for the schools, I feel they should at least get some money from a jersey with their number on it.

A lot of the time the coach is in the dark, it is usually some booster athlete doing the illegal transactions. Maybe if the NCAA could come up with some type of punishment, even if he is out of school that would make the athlete think twice about these types of activities.

Some may think this is hard but why should the school pay for it, when the athlete moves on and leaves a mess at the school. Let the athlete pay for their mistakes not the school.

What happens if they are already drafted? The Reggie Bush stuff didn't come out 'til he was gone, same with Derrick Rose.
What about a player at a smaller school, like NDSU, that isn't going to get drafted how much do you think your rule will stop those players from receiving improper benefits?
