Exactly, it has FAR reaching potential impact! As it stands now no athletes should be receiving money so when they do it's questioned. If it's all of the sudden okay to receive money for your "NIL" how long before that money comes with the caveat that you shave points or take a dive? The thing is, now there wil be a perfectly good explanation as to why this guy received $5K from this dealership who happened to place a bet and win some extra cash! It's a snowball waiting to be pushed downhill!

Because the states have been fighting the NCAA for decades trying to relieve the 100% restrictive rules. The states have not been fighting for removing them entirely.
The bill is written the way it is to force the NCAA to change.

The bill is written with no restrictions to earnings. You have no idea whether they will accept the NCAA putting a cap on earnings for players.

I'm just asking since you're the one calling everyone dumb frick for having a different outlook on the negatives this could have on college sports. You seem to be on one side of the fence and everyone on the other side is fricking idiot. I don't really see why you are even continuing this discussion if you're already so fricking certain about all of it.

This bill was written so California can cash in on the additional tax revenue. With all of the under the table payments the athletes get now, the government gets zero. But with all of the above board payments, the state of California gets paid too.

The easiest way around this for the NCAA is for them to say that every program can pool a certain amount (let's say $200K) earned from advertising that uses the athletes, which will then be distributed to the student athletes. The catch would be it gets split evenly among all of the student athletes, regardless of sport.
That's the only way they will be able to keep this from blurring the lines between getting paid for your likeness and getting paid for play.

I didn't call you a dumb frick for having a different opinion. I called you a dumb frick because you obviously didn't read my OP and you put words in my mouth.
I think student athletes on full ride scholarships shouldn't be able to get anything on the side. But that's not most of college athletes.
Most college athletes are fighting to pay tuition in school just like you and I had to do and the NCAA is telling them "you can't use your likeness to earn money" - just think about that for a second. That is beyond wrong!

I remember speaking to Don Shows when Cam Robinson committed to Alabama, and I asked, “Why did he choose Bama over LSU?” Without skipping a beat, his reply was, “More money!”
Cam had a brand new truck, and his momma didn’t work, but she somehow lived a comfortable lifestyle. Now, imagine this scenario when “making money off your likeness” is permitted. You’re naive if you think some well-connected booster isn’t going to dip into his deep pockets to get that huge recruit to school or keep a huge contributor from darting off to the NFL.

So the top tier athletes should turn down the scholarships knowing that they will make more money paying their own way?

Look man, I understand what you're saying and I get your point, but if you think people won't try to exploit it you're being a little naive. Now, if the NCAA puts a cap on it then fine, but the NCAA isn't known for handling things in the appropriate way and I can just see the potential for it being a bad thing for college sports. I'm not saying it will be and if it's done correctly it could be great for the people you're talking about, but if they frick it up like the do most things and leave loop holes it could become a nightmare.

I don't think you've paid attention to what I've said. NCAA would cap these earnings.

How the frick are you in here calling people stupid because they aren’t buying in to what you think MAY happen?
What if they don’t cap it? Then it becomes a free for all to pay top football and basketball recruits.

What irritates me is paying players falls under the category of people feeling entitled to more money. They dont value the free education theyre receiving and all the perks that come with being on the team (free LSU gear, free tudoring, special student facilities used only for athletes, free top notch on-campus housing, free food, free physical therapy, and all the awesome gifts for reaching conference championships/bowl games). Everyone else has to pay to go to that college and they dont get any of it without paying for it. Paying players will only speed up the gap between the schools who cant afford to pay players and the ones who can.
If they're going to pay players, they need to go away from scholarships entirely and then just pay them the money they would get normally for an athletic scholarship plus some commission on jersey sales, and see if they use their money wisely. They will have to pay tuition and pay for all the other fees associated with life just like the rest of the students and we'll see how they like treating college football like businesses do their employees.
It'll never be enough no matter how much you give them because they dont appreciate what they already have.

Regardless, there will always be an advantage for athletes that are on scholarships. Yeah, maybe one or two non-scholarship kids will make a good bit of money, but majority will be your best top notch athletes which are the athletes on scholarship.

One aspect of the Calif. bill that is being ignored is that it gives the players the right to hire an agent to negotiate for them. Is there any reason to feel that these agents will be honest and upfront, following the law? Once an agent gets his foot in a player's house, honesty and integrity are out the window.

If they arn't allowed to make money off of a jersey with their name on it. Who should? Some fat NCAA guys?
