The NCAA's amateurism model could be facing its biggest challenge yet.
California governor Gavin Newsom officially signed the Fair Pay to Play Act on Monday, which will allow student-athletes in the state to profit off their name, image and likeness – beginning in 2023 – and will prevent schools from revoking a student-athlete's scholarship or eligibility for receiving compensation.
Colleges reap billions from student athletes but block them from earning a single dollar. Thats a bankrupt model.
I just signed the Fair Play to Pay Act with @KingJames -- making CA the first state to allow student athletes to profit off their name, image, and likeness.
