Cut California from the Union. Win Win.

Woodman•74 months

Cut the whole West Coast from the Union.

Won't hurt if every school in CA is banned from post season games as well as on death penalty probation.

First, following something passed by a governing body in California is usually a poor choice. Second, do not be fooled into thinking this is about an altruistic stance made to help or serve those who can make money off of their likeness. California sees this and all of the other money to be made if this decision holds, as other potential revenue streams for the state through taxes. Once again, it’s about money...and not really money for who it appears to be for.

This whole California passed the bill so the whole world has to is non sense, all the pac 12 schools were against it. They’re not going to pay, the ncaa won’t allow you to play. This is a moot point!

If the school or the NCAA tries to make a player ineligible for claiming their legal right (in California) to monetize their likeness, the player has legal grounds to sue them. The NCAA knows this (the schools won't enforce it and risk suit) and will have to adapt or die.

There is a pretty good video explaining all this on youtube. Talks about what the NCAA can and cant do and also what the states and schools can and cant do. This could get real ugly for one side of the other by 2023.

Take money, it's still a rule in the NCAA that you can not and still play. Now you can make a law but it still does not change the rule. This is one law you can not force on the sport. Take your money but you better get ready for pro ball because you ain't play college anymore.

The official word from the noted Recruiting Guru, Lolo Jones.

I gotta tell ya, I’ve been waiting for months on her opinion on the matter.

Placebeaux•75 months

Please start a minor league for football. That way college football can go back to what it was intended to be.

CrystalPreserves•74 months

Can we just get another college football game from ea sports please? This way I won’t have to edit every player, the names will already be in the game.

genuineLSUtiger•74 months

The power teams will be located out West once this goes through

southsidedell•74 months

I mean why stay somewhere you cant sell your likeness? All that money you can make in merch you'd be stupid to not go. All the good kids will be there too.

IntenseKid•75 months

Iwshi

supatigah•75 months

thanks for the heads up LOLO

Tiger4life5803•74 months

NCAA needs to jump in and regulate this. Need the playing field to stay even.

superwolf•75 months

Just the opposite Lolo if you ever follow economics & finance which they don't teach much in public schools. If & when this ever happens when athletes will see the high tax rates in Calif when they get their 1099's and flock to other low tax rate states.

Jay Are•74 months

Except that most of those kids will be coming from public schools.

km•74 months

The PAC12 needs ALL the help they can get.

ctiger69•74 months

You smart

LSU Fireman•74 months

Jealous, dumbass. She is still as gorgeous as ever

oleheat•74 months

*Does she believe

oleheat•74 months

Do she believe USC will now be able to have a 500-man roster?

ELchapoLSU•75 months

She’s absolutely right because kids will be flocking to Cali to get paid the PAC 12 will become the new powerhouse & now the state Florida is following suite with the same bill. This is gonna get ugly for recruiting

southsidedell•74 months

Real ugly its gonna be great. And all out in the open. NCAA will burn.
