California Governor signs law that allows college athletes to get paid

LA Times

Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill that will allow California athletes to earn money from the use of their names, images and likenesses, despite warnings from the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. that the measure would upend amateur sports.
Senate Bill 206 by Sen. Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) garnered national attention, with athletes including NBA stars LeBron James and Draymond Green lauding the California effort to give college athletes a share of the windfall they help create for their universities and NCAA. The bill passed the state Legislature unanimously.
Newsom signed the bill on an episode of “The Shop,” a talk show from digital sports media company Uninterrupted, alongside James, the WNBA’s Diana Taurasi and former UCLA basketball player Ed O’Bannon. Newsom said the new law addressed a “major problem for the NCAA.” The signing was recorded Friday but released Monday, according to Newsom’s office.
“It’s going to initiate dozens of other states to introduce similar legislation,” Newsom said on the show. “And it’s going to change college sports for the better by having now the interest finally of the athletes on par with the interests of the institution. Now we are rebalancing that power.”

Until the NCAA allows it this is meaningless.

USC and UCLA about to have every 5* athlete west of the Mississippi.

Definitely. Instead of people playing for the love of the game at the best school possible. It'll be a bunch of 17 year old whiny millionaire transplants. What an unbelievably depressing thought.

PAC 12 and a shite ton of Kalifornia college teams will regret this when they are banned from any/all bowl games the ramifications for millions in lost revenues.
Unless there is a national referendum and change for everybody, bucking the NCAA will get them nowhere.

Now that is what I call a recruiting advantage.

Can CA athletes even travel to away games in banned states? Ya know the states that reward normality and don't pander to the mentally ill.
All CA paid state travel is banned after all to several states. Those states should make it a priority to invite CA based teams to bowl games.

It will disqualify them with the NCAA and California teams will no longer be allowed to play in NCAA sponsored events.

If you're at a big time program you're there to get drafted by a pro league. The top players don't care about getting a degree.

The NCAA will declare anyone that does this ineligible and start slapping fines and taking away scholarships from schools that allow it.

Other states are going to follow suit, NCAA is about to have their balls in a vice on this.
While a bunch of old fricks get rich off these kids. Look at the bowl committee garbage. Lots of people make tons of money off these kids, it’s about time they get paid too.

Won't last. If the NCAA labels the players ineligible and sanctions the schools for using the players, the money would dry up for those schools.
Think about it from the stand point that the games those teams play in become exhibition games with no meaning for the season. Big TV doesn't care about exhibition games, so they don't show them. No TV means not TV revenue for those schools / conferences. No TV revenue means no money to spend. No TV also means a lack of popularity for the athlete to make money off their likeness.
That is the reason the NCAA doesn't want the athlete to sell their likeness. It would give a much larger benefit to the big schools that are always on TV.
If the NCAA continues to not allow pay to play, this whole thing is just virtue signalling and means nothing.

I don’t understand the purpose of this law. Was it illegal before to be a paid college athlete? Did the just formally legalize something that was already legal?

By itself, I don't think it changes anything. This doesn't change the NCAA's rules about it. If a bunch of big name programs actually start doing it or pushing for it, that will create pressure for the NCAA, but one state passing a law about it doesn't do anything I don't believe.
