(Radio Iowa) – Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz believes additional compensation for college players is a positive development, even though he is not sure how the changes will effect the Hawkeye program. The U.S. Supreme Court handed athletes a victory by overturning a NCAA rule limiting education-related compensation for college players. Name, image and likeness legislation has already been approved in several states which allows athletes to make money off their name.

Ferentz says there have been positive changes for players in recent years.

Ferentz says the changes are coming quickly and it will force programs to adjust.

Wednesday’s Scores

Vanderbilt 6, Stanford 5- Vanderbilt got a walk off run in unusual fashion. Stanford pitcher Brendan Beck sailed a wild pitch high to the backstop, allowing Spencer Jones to score from third and end the Cardinal season. Enrique Bradfield Jr. had just drove in the tying run in the bottom of the 9th after the Commodores played from behind all night. Stanford had a 4-0 advantage early in the game but did leave a total of 11 runners stranded, including bases-loaded leaves in the fourth and eighth. The reigning National Champion Commodores survive to face NC State in the Semifinals on Friday.
