I am sure this is a bittersweet day for former College athletes considering now they can finally make money prior to ever going pro. There will no doubt be some players from previous years hoping they can get access to some reimbursements.

Many former college athletes have already been posting about this positive change for students. While this is no doubt a great thing for future generation of athletes, this also could make way for the return of famous College sports games.

It’ll be interesting to see what sort of percentages and kick back these students do get, but anything is better than nothing at this point!
