Legendary Duke Blue Devils head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski said Tuesday he’s “really happy” California’s Fair Pay to Play Act is forcing the NCAA to rethink name, image and likeness (NIL) rights.
“We need to stay current with what’s happening,” Coach K said, per Matt Norlander of CBS Sports. “I’m glad it was passed because it pushes the envelope, it pushes the issue.”
He added: “We’ve had our head in the sand a lot for college. … We’re not good game-planners for the future. We’re reactionary. We don’t set the pace.”
