We believe those rules must be changed to allow athletes to be compensated. The name, image and likeness approach has its own challenges that we must address, and we'll be carefully reviewing the NCAA's next steps and working on ways Congress can reform college sports, said Romney and Murphy. We need to correct the inequities between what college coaches and the institutions make versus what the athletes receive and protect college athletes' health and educational opportunities.
