Will this effect recruiting out west or will Louisiana follow suit? Interesting topic with regards to the future of LSU recruiting.

I’m open to it as long as the student athletes maintain a certain GPA, but their school is already paid. Curious what discussions are brought up about this.

How can they still be eligible? How is this possible under the ncaa unless everyone is allowed to do it?

The bill may have passed, but the schools won't be allowed by the NCAA to participate for anything of significance. Kids will have to choose money or championships if it stays the way it is.

Misleading title. Bill says players can get paid for thier likeness and sign endorsement deals, Has nothing to do with schools paying players.

O Bannon destroyed a ton of fun for kids, on the all time dislike list.

I changed the title, but that’s still a form of payment not currently being used and step towards the inevitable.
An earlier poster mentioned potentially the NCAA not recognizing them. This could certainly backfire like everything else California’s govt has done over the last 20 years.

The NCAA will rule any player that received money under this law as ineligible and will fine / penalize any school that takes part in this.

This could get interesting. Don't forget the NCAA is hardly the end all be all, they're paid (and only exist) because the conferences acknowledge them. Which is why their enforcement of really anything is a joke.
What if the Pac12 (and any other conference with CA schools) sided with paying players? I'm not saying it'll happen and I know there are lots of legal implications but it could lead to some interesting developments.

Yeah it seems irrelevant the legality of paying college athletes, I didn't realize it was actually against the law to begin with. The NCAA makes the rules for college sports, so unless they make a rule change in that regard it doesn't matter.

i say if you pay them....they pay for there own school, books, food, room, and have to keep a certain GPA...if they cant afford it all with the money they make they are ineligible

Was it ever really against any law for anyone of age to have an endorsement in the first place? This seems like typical liberal BS SJW political crap trying to act like an authority instead of public servants.

It could be a huge positive in recruiting if any major Cali school allows it and are forced to leave the NCAA because they have teams full of pro athletes

So all USC has to do is put a 5 star player's picture on a t-shirt and say they're giving them a million dollars for their likeness on said t-shirt.
Also, it doesn't go into effect until 2023, so plenty of time to be litigated.

it pretty much would lead to the end of the whole amateur status of college football. It makes it so easy to promise (or contract) recruits big endorsements for signing with a particular school. It will bring the bidding for players (to whatever extent it exists) out in the open and blows it wide open. The school with the most dedicated and wealthiest backers will bid the highest for the best recruits. Time to let capitalism into the world of college football I guess.

It wasn't against the law. This law the governor signed is trying to force the NCAA's hand by saying in California, the law supersedes the NCAA's rules and players now have the "right" to get paid if they so chose.

Hate away guys. I’m old school. Im against paying players. They already get a full ride worth possibly hundreds of thousands, plus meals at training table, many other perks( clothes, shoes) while my kids work their way through school. You will never persuade me otherwise.

A writer for the N.Y Times was on Finebaum 2 weeks ago & he said he had talked to 1000's of sources, on both sides of the fence, for close to a year when this bill was first introduced. Long story, short version, he said that this bill will lead to a "tidal wave"of changes in the NCAA. A bill is being proposed by N.Y.'s governor that would take 15% of all NCAA generated income in the state & use that money to pay players directly. A bill is being filed in N. Carolina that is similar to the Calf. bill. He expects other states to follow suit. He said that any attempt by the NCAA to stop these bills from practical application will be met by multiple lawsuits, Federal and state. Congress has started sniffing around "and the last thing anyone wants is Federal politicians involved. " His suggestion was that the NCAA should "bite the inevitable bullet that is coming and come up with its own plan. " The Calf. bill does not go into effect till 2023.

Lots of questions...who all gets paid? Even the underwater woman’s soccer team players? Just the “ money sports”? That will be lawsuits waiting to happen. When you crack open the door, you can’t see what’s in the other side. Not gonna end well.
