Michigan All-American center Hunter Dickinson and Pitt guard Jamarius Burton are wearing an “S” on their hands during Michigan-Pitt tonight. RossDellenger explains why
The “S” stands for “share,” which is short for “revenue share,” which is something a group of college athletes believe they deserve. That group includes Michigan All-American center Hunter Dickinson, who will be wearing the “S” during the game against the Panthers.
In a statement that quotes Dickinson and several current college athletes, the NCPA released goals for the campaign that include requiring schools to share revenue with athletes; protect freedoms connected to name, image and likeness deals in light of potential Congressional involvement; preserve all sports ; abide by Title IX; improve graduation rates by extending scholarships to six years; and enforce safety standards while paying athlete medical expenses.
“The ‘S’ on our hands is a call for economic freedom and fairness,” Dickinson said in the statement. “I may be gone before change happens, but I want to do my part to stand up for the freedoms of younger athletes and future generations. The time for fair revenue share is long overdue.” The ruling further eroded the association’s bedrock of amateurism at a time when state laws opened the door for athletes to begin earning compensation from their NIL, now a flourishing industry that’sThe NCAA, itself caught in a purgatory between amateurism and professionalism, continues to be pushed toward the professional model, and many believe more change is on the way. That includes revenue sharing as well as employment status.
