Lobo Amor Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 California has voted for student athletes to be able to profit off their likeness and image and to receive compensation on NLI, to be able to sign with an agent and to prohibit the NCAA from enforcing any rules against it. http://footballscoop.com/news/california-senate-votes-allow-nli-payments-college-athletes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluerules009 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hard to believe California did something really smart and fair to everyone. They should allow athletes to negotiate their scholarships as well. SJSU, Fresno, SDSU could all have a big recruiting advantage over the rest of the MWC and the country. What might have been an SEC guy might go to SJSU instead of Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSF Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Good news for Boise and a couple others. When the California schools are booted from the NCAA for non-compliance, that'll open up some slots in the Pac 12. In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better news for all non-Californian western schools that recruit men's soccer...golf...cross country... wrestling...track and field... and baseball teams. With the amount of money needed for football and hoop recruits..there will have to be cuts to the rest of the athletic department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the amount of money needed for football and hoop recruits..there will have to be cuts to the rest of the athletic department. you seem to be missing the point. California schools will not be allowed - by the NCAA or the schools in the rest of the country - to operate under a different set of rules. As the article points out, the NCAA is a voluntary organization. You think the other P5 schools will let USC, etc, have that advantage? Hell, no. Probably wont come to that, though. And it'll be a long time before any such law (if it even passes) can/will be enacted, anyways. There will be a lawsuit about 5 minutes after it becomes law. And, based on the final ruling in the O'Bannon case (that cost-of-attendance payments cured anti-trust issues), the NCAA would have a decent chance of winning. While O’Bannon prevailed at the Ninth Circuit, he and many college athlete advocates hoped that the Supreme Court would review the case and decree a more substantial remedy. There were expectations, for example, that student-athletes might receive significant compensation through licensing agreements and other arrangements related to broadcasts and other commercial products. (In 2013, Electronic Arts reached a $40 million settlement to resolve related name, image and likeness claims connected to the company’s college video games.) The Ninth Circuit essentially rejected more substantial remedies. It instead reasoned that, by allowing colleges to offer student-athletes additional compensation up to the full cost of attendance, the NCAA cures the antitrust harm caused by its otherwise unlawful amateurism rules. Such a measure is already in place, meaning the Ninth Circuit’s ruling in O’Bannon compels no additional changes of the NCAA or its member schools, conferences and other affiliated organizations. Two of the three Ninth Circuit judges also vacated a more substantial remedy imposed earlier in the litigation by U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken. In 2014, Judge Wilken ruled that colleges must reward men’s basketball and football players up to $5,000 per year while they are in school for the use of their names, images and likenesses, with payment made after they graduate. This idea encountered problems for several reasons, including that it was never clear why $5,000 and not $1,000, $10,000, $100,000 or some other number was the appropriate cap or, for that matter, why any fixed cap was appropriate under antitrust law—an area of law that promotes competition. To the disappointment of some, the Ninth Circuit’s ruling ensures that a payment system won’t be implanted. As a result, the NCAA’s controversial system of “amateurism” largely remains in place. In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCAA can't afford to lose California schools especially if they are stealing the best athletes from across the country. It would be the end of the Big 10 and SEC as all the best athletes would be stupid to not go to a california school. The NCAA has nothing they can sue about. All they can do is get sued and lose. Not to mention this will go nationwide. Lots of support for it among blacks who feel like they are getting screwed and they are. So every democratic state will pass it. Every presidential candidate that wants the black vote, all 20+ will support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a formality at this point (31-4 yes vote in the state senate), but the bill isn't enacted just yet. Per the OP's link. "Assuming the bill passes the California state Assembly and is ratified by Governor Gavin Newsom, California college athletes would have the right to sign an agent and market their name, image and likeness beginning in 2023."

Especially since SJSU would have a whole team of them. Alabama is one of the lower tier coached teams in the country. It would be hard for SJSU to do worse. NFL players that go to Alabama were NFL players out of their mothers womb and Saban had nothing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, every time you play your team forfeits. No bowls, no post season. Come to think of it, schools in the rest of the country would love that. But thats where the lawsuit would come from, not the NCAA. And given that OBannon ruling already covers most of whats in the bill, the NCAA would be on some pretty firm.ground.
