Considering he was a ground-breaking visionary when it came to paying college football players in the 1970s and 1980s, you'd think Barry Switzer – the disgraced former OU football coach turned wealthy Norman drunk who brought shame and embarrassment to his program – would have a soft spot for allowing college athletes to profit from their name or likeness like any other individual over the age of 18.
It would make sense.
Barry Switzer was famous for being a "players coach" who, thanks to his own difficult upbringing, could identify with some of the challenges and financial hardships many college athletes face, so he'd obviously be all for them making money... right?
