Instructions and help about NCAA Student Athlete Opportunity Fund Application

D WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENTS HAVE TIPPED OFF AS THE SPORT IS GETTING THE HIGHEST TELEVISION RATINGS IN YEARS. FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS, ATHLETES HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CAPITALIZE ON THE POPULARITY OF COLLEGE SPORTS THROUGH ENDORSEMENTS, SPONSORSHIP, AND ADVERTISING DEALS. A POLICY KNOWN AS NAME, IMAGE, AND LIKENESS. A CHANCE FOR ATHLETES, VERY FEW OF WHOM GO TO PROFESSIONAL SPORTS CAREERS, TO MAKE MONEY. IT IS ALSO EXPOSING THEM TO THE DARK SIDE OF FAN CULTURE. SHE'S A FORMER SPORTS REPORTER WHO TEACHES JOURNALISM. MOLLY, WHEN NAME, IMAGE, LIKENESS BEGAN, COMMENTATORS SAID IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR FEMALE ATHLETES IN THE LESS GLAMOROUS SPORTS, BATTLES THAT DID NOT GET A LOT OF ATTENTION. HAS IT WORKED OUT THAT WAY? >> YES, IT HAS. IT HAS WORKED OUT THAT WAY IN THE SENSE THAT WE SEE A LOT OF UNIVERSITIES PUTTING TOGETHER COLLECTIVES. I JUST READ IN THE ATHLETIC THAT UCLA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL IS PUTTING TOGETHER A COLLECTIVE WHERE EACH PLAYER WILL GET SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF $15,000 EACH.
