The NCAA rules that allow players to profit off their name, image and likeness (NIL) are a concession against outright paying players at that level. The new era has a few veteran players thinking about how their college careers might have been different had the NIL rules been around when they were enrolled.
Among them is former Boston Celtics player Evan Turner. The assistant coach revealed he might have spent more seasons with Ohio State had he been able to earn NIL enough money to make it worth his while to not go pro.
His comments came on a recent episode of The Athletic “NBA Show” podcast. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what the No. 2 pick of the 2010 NBA draft had to say about the name, image and likeness rules — and what he might have done had then been around in his college days.
