But that person is not an amateur, by definition. Why are we trying to redefine amateur athletics? You want to be on a Wheaties Box then go pro.

They're still amateur athletes; they're still not getting paid to play their particular sport by the NCAA or their school. This prevents the NCAA and any amateur-sports organization from not allowing an athlete to benefit from their name, image and likeness — all of which are theirs in the first place, not the school's and not the NCAA's.

Let's be honest — the reason some of us are excited about this is that it opens the door for NCAA Football '20.
