no, simply allows athletes in the NCAA to do what any person over 18 (and under with a parent's consent) do, which is to benefit from their name and likeness.
The idea that a kid on a full music scholarship can teach piano in the summer but a college ball player couldn't coach at a BBall or football camp over the summer is flat out stupid.
I think the NCAA allowing their leagues to become de facto farm teams (which is what they are to some degree anyways) for the pros is a hill they'll die on
