For years, talk of college athletics revolved around high-minded ideals like the love of sport and competition, not money. But that didn’t keep schools or their athletic conferences from making billions from players’ efforts. Now athletes are finally on the brink of profiting from their success, thanks to a wave of state laws taking effect soon.
On July 1, student athletes in at least six states—including Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Texas—will be able to earn money by doing things such as marketing themselves on social media and selling autographs. The uneven spread of name, image and likeness ( NIL) legislation has drawn the ire of the NCAA, which argues that a jumble of state rules will sow confusion and create unfair advantages for schools. At the behest of the NCAA, a divided Congress is working to advance a federal law that would immediately establish national standards for all college athletes. However, given several competing congressional bills and disagreement over the scope of the proposals, the state-level roll outs may be the ones that establish the initial rules.
Texas on June 14 became the latest state to pass a bill allowing athletes to be compensated by outside businesses for the use of their name and likeness. Still, swift action from the NCAA could result in a deal that leads to a national standard before the state rules kick in. "The NCAA could come up with a national standard," Dave Ridpath, a college sports expert and past president of the Drake Group says. "I just don’t think the membership is going to be liberal enough to really give the athletes the control over their name, image and likeness that they deserve.
Whatever happens on the national level, student athletes in some states will soon be able to make thousands of dollars posting on Twitter and Instagram and signing autographs. That’s where marketplaces like OpenSponsorship and Playbooked come in. The companies offer platforms that enable athletes to connect with marketing partners and brands. OpenSponsorship’s platform has facilitated more than $2.3 million in deals over the past year for thousands of professional athletes, taking a 20% cut from marketing deals.
The temptation to make big bucks sooner has already shaken up the world of basketball. A number of top high school prospects who want to forgo their college eligibility have chosen to play for the NBA’s G League Ignite, go overseas, or join new programs such as Overtime Elite, a league for young players. Bypassing college sports can sometimes result in a six- or seven-figure salary and success in the big leagues.
"Eventually this will all be figured out. But there are going to be bumps, and this will be a dynamic process," Ridpath says. "College sports are not minor league. They are major league, and it’s time to be less restrictive. "
Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
选项
A、College Athlete, Unfair Treatment
B、College Athlete, Time to Revolt
C、College Athlete Pay Is Down to the Wire
D、College Athlete vs. League Athlete
答案
C
解析
主旨题。解答主旨题的关键是通过把握各段的段落大意(一般位于段落的首尾句)来把握全文主旨。需要排除文章某一句或者某一段内容的干扰,虽然这些信息很熟悉,但是由于过于局部而无法概括全文,如本题的选项A和选项D。选项A为第一段提到的细节性内容,不足以概括全文,故排除;选项D为最后一段提到的内容,也不足以概括全文,故排除;文章中并没有呼吁大学生去反抗自己的不公平待遇,故选项B排除;第一段描述大学生运动员的薪水受到校方的剥削,第二段描述各州即将通过法律使运动员可以通过社交媒体获利,第三段讨论各方的态度,第四段描述运动员在一些州已经可以通过社交媒体获利的具体细节,第五段和第六段描述一些篮球运动员不选择大学体育而是联盟体育,综合来看,选项C最符合主题。
