According to OregonLive and other sources, the Oregon State Senate has passed HB1501.
Critics of the rephresensible, contemptible and utterly obsolete NCAA model have gained momentum via federal and state government intervention.
The NCAA is increasingly under fire from the federal government since California brought the issue of financial compensation of athletes to the forefront last year. The NCAA administration has been called to testify in front of Congress multiple times because of this issue.
A multitude of states have adopted or are considering adopting laws that deal with the issue of student athlete recompense because the NCAA is an archaic and outmoded organization unable to fix things themselves.
