Secondly, Timothy Burke of Deadspin confirmed what I thought to be the case about student-athletes being used in ads. Per NCAA rules, current college players cannot be used in any form of commercial ads. (They can of course play for a school while earning it millions in revenue, but not get Nike Air Max 1 Mens to break bread at the nike air max 90 womens table. Let’s tackle that another time.)
