Gonzaga athletic director Mike Roth favors student-athletes receiving more than what NCAA rules currently allow, but he has strong reservations if that involves profiting off their name, image and likeness, (NIL).
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday signed into law the Fair Pay to Play Act, a potential game-changer that gives student-athletes an opportunity to earn money from their NIL while retaining collegiate eligibility.
Numerous athletic administrators, including Roth, anticipate some form of legal challenge long before the law goes into effect Jan. 1, 2023.
