Condoleezza Rice has urged NCAA to act as soon as possible after the legal framework is in place to allow student-athletes to make money from their images, names and so on...
Rice is the Chairperson of the Commission on College Basketball came out strongly defending the Commission's findings and wants the NCAA to act fast.
"We believe that students ought to be able to benefit from name, image and likeness but you can't decide a program until you know the legal parameters," said Rice to USA TODAY SPORTS.
"That was the point. I think some of the commentary suggested that we didn't really speak on this issue. I think we did speak on this issue, it's that we understand there's a legal framework that has to be developed first."
"I think people may have overlooked the fact that we said there's a legal framework to be developed and said 'Oh, well, maybe they are punting on this.' Nobody was intending to punt on it."
