NCAA surprise leaves states rethinking college athlete pay rules
| As the NCAA considered new rules last year to allow college athletes to profit from the use of their name, image and likeness, state legislatures raced to implement their own laws to protect students and give their local colleges and universities a leg up in recruiting new talent.
