AFAIK, schools aren't on the hook for paying the student athlete, unless the school is the one using the likeness. If athletes want to market their self and image to outside parties that's the third party's responsibility to pay. And its only the largest of the money makers that have to abide by it. Like if the QB at UCLA wants to hypothetically run a camp and teach kids to throw the ball, he can now do that.

Its no different then a person on say a band or dance scholarship doing gigs outside of their rolls with the school and getting paid.

That is not allowed under NCAA rules. Except for those that are grandfathered in as of 2011 such as Colorado College Men's Ice Hockey and Johns Hopkins Men's Lacrosse.
