I'm not commenting on either the online pictures or whether or not
the NCAA rule is outdated, but it is a little funny to say that the
NCAA has to protect the athletes from ways they could make money.
The NCAA may have an interest in doing so, but it isn't really to
keep them from being "taken advantage of". In fact, some argue, with
some merit, that it is the NCAA that takes advantage of the athletes.
