This morning, California governor Gavin Newsom signed the Fair Pay to Play Act into law, allowing athletes who attend college in the state to earn money off their names, images, and likenesses starting in 2023. With this law, players will now be able to hire agents, sign endorsement deals, and accept paid youth coaching positions.
