NCAA President Charlie Baker on Thursday continued the organization’s push for federal legislation addressing the ability of college athletes to make money from their name, image and likeness during an appearance at a conference sponsored by the University of Arizona titled “The Future of College Sports.”
But Baker – who moved into the job March 1 – covered an array of other topics, including eye-opening comments on the prospect of the NCAA making money from sports betting. Baker also discussed the NCAA attempting to increasing revenue in other ways, including from its upcoming negotiations for media rights to championships in sports other than men’s basketball.
