NCAA Executive Backs Athlete Image Compensation
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Oliver Luck isn't changing his position about paying college athletes for the use of their names, images or likenesses.
The NCAA's new executive vice president of regulatory affairs believes it's a fundamental right.
On Thursday, one day after accepting the post, the former West Virginia athletic director outlined a broad vision for what he hopes to do. His goals include creating better relationships with schools, providing more clarity and transparency about rules and enforcement decisions, and helping cope with a variety of lawsuits already in the system.
While Luck has said previously he believes athletes should be compensated for using their likenesses and reiterated the need to ``do the right thing, Luck says he has not yet discussed that position with his new boss, NCAA President Mark Emmert.
