Senate Bill 206, or The Fair Pay to Play Act, has been in the works for nearly a year but will not be enforced until Jan. 1, 2023. The far-off activation date allows the NCAA to alter their laws, but it is currently unclear if they will. In June, NCAA President, Mark Emmert sent a letter to two California State Assembly committees stating that California institutions would be excluded from championship games if the bill was approved.
