Rick Burton, David B. Falk Endowed Professor of Sport Management in the Falk College, authored the Sportico opinion piece “.” Burton, an expert on sports marketing and management, explained the logistics of the NCAA’s new pay-for-play strategies and how they may affect the college sports world.

They can sell themselves (it will be called “opting in”) to collectives or to any entity for any amount,” Burton wrote.
