We all can learn something from Lavar Ball and the Big Baller family. Although their "BBB" brand is no longer a staple or even in existence for that matter, it's still impressive how they were able to leverage their talent, following, and brand to create a revenue generating clothing brand that, if we're honest, wasn't really even that dope lol.

Do you think NCAA Players should be paid? The NCAA is a billion dollar organization leveraging the image and likeness of schools and players alike. The schools and programs are compensated but the players are not. In an age where image and likeness can be grown and leveraged without being backed by a large organization, it is even more valuable to a player. 

The NCAA has finally allowed players to leverage their own image and likeness but still has not decided to compensate players for their contribution to the revenue of their school/program as well as NCAA.

Tarca, Art, and Rob discuss what they think is fair but this is an age old argument that we'd love to hear your opinion on. Follow @ThirdDegreePodcast on Instagram and DM us your opinion!
