And on top of that, I was stressed about the potential of my injuries keeping me from playing again,” Prince said in a statement. “Even with all of this facing me, I was still unable to receive any outside compensation from endorsements or social media because of the NCAA. It’s unfair. ... For all the hard work college athletes put in, for all the risks we take and injuries we sustain, and for all the money we generate, we should at least be able to share in the profits that can be made off of our own names, images and likenesses. If not us, who can rightfully claim that and profit from it?” I do sympathize that she shouldn't have to pay for her surgeries considering she got injured playing for USA basketball. The outside compensation/ability to make side income I also understand, but just seems a bit odd that it's coming from Prince whose name/image/likeness is very limited, as she doesn't have a huge social media following and has never played a game of college basketball.
