Golden opportunity: College-bound Olympians look to cash in

Sunisa Lee competes on the beam during the women's U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials Sunday, June 27, 2021, in St. Louis. For decades, high-profile college-bound Olympians were forced to make a choice: turn pro to cash in on their notoriety or remain an amateur to go to school. That's no longer an issue for athletes like gymnasts Sunisa Lee and Jordan Chiles after legislation cleared the way for them to profit off their Name, Image and Likeness. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson)

Nichols, an alternate on the 2016 U.S. Olympic team, welcomed opportunities for college-bound athletes to be compensated for their name, image and likeness. Nichols turned down several opportunities in 2016 to maintain her amateur status. She went on to win a pair of national titles at Oklahoma.(AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki, File)
