Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a measure into law Tuesday that allows college athletes to sign endorsement deals, making Illinois the latest of nearly two dozen states to enact policies allowing student-athletes to profit off the use of their names and likenesses.The signing comes a day before an NCAA vote on a proposal that would institute similar rules for schools nationwide. It also comes less than two weeks after a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court ruling struck down an NCAA rule prohibiting schools from offering athletes education-related benefits. #collegeathletes,
