Arizona Athletics: California Fair Play to Pay Act may affect the Pac-12

The forever-changing landscape between professional and amateur or the NCAA/ college and high school sports can be confusing. Enter California Governor Gavin Newsom and the bill he just signed in front of LeBron James and Diana Taurasi on his Uninterrupted show, The Shop.

James started by stating, “I’m so incredibly proud to share this moment with all of you.” He felt that moments like that were the reason why he started his platform, as James has been all about players’ rights, and contrary to many, this writer agrees with him and the Governor of California.

If California schools are affected, then the Pac-12 will be affected as four major member schools are in California: USC, UCLA, Stanford, and Cal.
