TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Just when some college athletes in Florida were readying to cash in on their athletic prowess, the state’s Legislature has unexpectedly delayed their ability to hire agents and ink endorsement deals.
The curve ball came in a tiny last-minute amendment inserted into an education bill in the waning days of Florida's legislative session. “Are we serious right now??
That little black line in a bill with more than 70 pages to continue to screw all these athletes?? Make it make sense," tweeted McKenzie Milton, the quarterback at Florida State University, home to some of the country's most heralded collegiate teams.
