SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Lawmakers have sent the governor a bill to allow athletes at California colleges to hire agents and sign endorsement deals.
The bill would allow athletes at California schools to hire agents and be paid for the use of their name, image or likeness. It would stop universities and the NCAA from banning athletes that take the money. In the six-paragraph letter to Newsom, the board said the bill would give California schools an unfair recruiting advantage. As a result, the letter says, the NCAA would declare those schools ineligible for its events.
The NCAA said the legislation would impact more than 24,000 college athletes in the nation's most populous state.

California Takes Aim at NCAA Pay BanLawmakers voted to require schools in the state to allow their athletes to earn endorsement money, setting up a collision with the NCAA, which bans compensation for college athletes beyond a scholarship and modest stipend. It sickens me, but I agree with California on this one. They 100% should be able to make money off their own name. If their salary is their scholarship from the school, that’s fine, but if people offer them money for autographs, appearances, video games, etc they should. Democrats F up everything they touch. And pay taxes on it?
