Lawmakers in California passed a bill allowing college athletes to strike endorsement deals with brands. The NCAA says the bill is harmful and unconstitutional.
"If the bill becomes law and California’s 58 NCAA schools are compelled to allow an unrestricted name, image and likeness scheme, it would erase the critical distinction between college and professional athletics," the letter read."Right now, nearly half a million student-athletes in all 50 states compete under the same rules. This bill would remove that essential element of fairness and equal treatment that forms the bedrock of college sports.
While the bill does not require schools to pay student athletes, it does allow them to hire agents who could help them earn income. The NCAA letter also threatened to ban California colleges and universities from NCAA competitions because of an “unfair recruiting advantage.”
