ALBANY — It’s the kind of “pay-to-play” voters can get behind.

Student-athletes playing college sports should be allowed to rake in the big bucks, say New York state voters in a Siena College survey released Tuesday.

Voters support state-level legislation introduced last month by a 63 to 29 percent margin that would allow athletes to receive compensation for the use of their name, image or likeness.

Democrats back the notion by 67 to 25 percent, leading GOP voters at 48 to 44 percent.

Black voters show the most enthusiasm at 89 percent compared to other demographics, followed by 72 percent of Latinos and 54 percent of white voters.

Men support the idea by 70 percent, and women by 58 percent.

Part of the legislative proposal requires all New York colleges to take 15 percent of revenue from athletic ticket sales and divide that revenue among all student-athletes — regardless of gender, sport or position.

New Yorkers think it’s a good idea, by a 60 to 30 percent margin.

California in September became the first state allowing college players to sign agents and receive endorsement contracts.

The move was opposed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which regulates college players at member schools.

Some professional athletes, like former NFL player Tim Tebow, worry that paying student-athletes would sully the relationship players have with their sport.

The poll surveyed 742 registered voters and has a 4.3 percentage-point margin of error.
