California’s college athletes are a step closer to being able to make money from the use of their names, images and likenesses.
The proposed legislation prohibits the NCAA from banning a university from competition if the athletes were compensated. If the bill is passed by the Assembly and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Fair Pay to Play Act would take effect Jan. 1, 2023. That provides the NCAA time to make changes to its rules and California leeway to introduce future legislation if changes are needed to ensure schools are not penalized, said Sen. Nancy Skinner , who co-authored the bill.
Skinner said passing the bill would be significant for female athletes, who have fewer opportunities to make big money in professional sports. “College may be the only time for which their athletic prowess may be so valued that they might be able to have their hometown car dealer … sponsor them, or a Rotary Club or a Kiwanis Club — all of which is prohibited now under the NCAA rules,” she said.
“I wish this bill did more,” he added. “I wish it guaranteed continuing education for any athlete who played for a major university until they achieve a degree and if they want to get a graduate degree they should be afforded that opportunity. … They generate millions of dollars and don’t benefit.” During the committee hearing, Long Beach State athletic director Andy Fee cautioned “many potential and unintended consequences” if the bill becomes law.
