  Anthony Gonzalez's unease over NCAA amateurism rules began more than a decade ago. He was a wide receiver for Ohio State's football team when he noticed the autographs he signed for kids after games were handed over to memorabilia dealers. While they pocketed hundreds of dollars from the sale of his signature on eBay, Gonzalez never collected a cent. Other stories heightened his weariness. His wife, Elizabeth, had been prohibited from offering swim lessons when she was an All-American swimmer at Stanford. Before the launch of a political career that led Gonzalez to become one of the more prominent supporters of federal government action to allow college players to earn from money from the use of their name, image and likeness, the events shaped his views on expanding the limits on athlete compensation.

"Everyone else in the country is allowed to capitalize on name, image and likeness, including the coaches," Gonzalez said in a recent interview. "The only people in the country who can't are the athletes. It never made sense to me." As a first-term Republican representative for Ohio's 16th congressional district, near Cleveland, Gonzalez plans to introduce a bill in the coming weeks that permits college athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness. - Columbus Dispatch
