Bingo.

 

All other states will quickly follow suit.

[MadHatter]

Whether they should be allowed to sign deals and be paid is a legitimate debate.

however, this bill is ridiculous and has no legal standing.  College athletes are governed by the ncaa.

Or the NCAA bars CA teams and no one goes there.

Good for them. Those kids deserve it. 

[rodeo]

hell yeah, good news. a step closer to paying them outright. they're doing work for your company, pay them. if you can't afford it, you can't afford to have a company. sorry, try china next time.

Which they've already threatened to do.

Not true.

California can pass this law all they want.  College athletes are governed under the ncaa and the ncaa can rule every athlete signing a deal in Cal as ineligible.

Same reason that Colorado, Washington, etc athletes can’t smoke pot and be eligible...even though it is legal in their states.

[PanthersBigD]

Yeah, totally feasible for the NCAA to just ban CA from the NCAA. It's not like they'd be losing a ton of big programs or anything...

It will happen slowly, but the tide is turning. The POS NCAA getting fat off of the work of unpaid laborers needs to end.

There are 85 scholarships per team, many teams have 100 or more players. I'm sure scholarships aren't going to walk ons
