Deadspin simply reported a fact. The fact needs to be debated seriously as to its merits and demerits. The front of my brain could argue one way, the back of my brain could argue the opposite way just as well.

The NCAA needs to kick teams who have “pros” playing out bowls/playoffs/championships, plain and simple unless they want to toss in the towel and allow a free for all. They need to do that, or make it so any kid that signs an endorsement contract is put into a lottery and has to go to whichever school picks him so everyone has a shot.

naw man skip that homework stuff and go to the good deadspin wherein they study the science of Ben Rothlessburger's gigantic head Best thing about Deadspin are the comments. Just brutal: Ah yes. Roethlisberger & Bonds, two of the biggest egos in the history of Pittsburgh sports. They should join heads (pun) & make ice cream: Ben & Barrys Douche Nozzle Cherry Swirl.

Well so much for College Football. University Media Market wins all recruiting battles. Better yet every Head Coach will need to become an expert in Ego Management (if they are not already. Number 2 coaching skill will the ability to explain why winning might be better in the long term for bank accounts. Most important new game Stat, how many recieved Likes!
Better idea, give every recruit College Costs and Salary based on the year.
Freshman = $$$$
Soph = $$$$$
Jr = $$$$$$
SR = $$$$$$$
With the Coach the power to drop any player at the end of the year with no chance to transfer to a same level program (ever).

The inequity in markets, locale, booster spending will cut in half the amount of competitive teams. There is a limited amount of schools that can ride that $$$ treadmill. |

California (or any state) passing a law has no impact on the NCAA or their attendant rules. This will essentially be obviated by the NCAA declaring any athlete or any school that wishes to participate ineligible to compete or to participate in playoffs or post season.
The biggest hang up with these types of (seemingly logical and reasonable) laws is they eventually run up against Title IX and gender equity. Either you figure out a way to pay them all, or you cannot sanction paying any of them. This will ultimately have no impact as the unintended consequences become clear

All for it.
What this does is give the NCAA four years to address their charade.
The one where players are pawns in a $Billion industry. The one where coaches can make any promises they want and walk away the next day. The one where a player's scholarship can be yanked for basically any reason a coaching staff desires. The one where a player needs permission to be released from their scholarship and play immediately (and likely won't if they want to play in conf.) for whatever reason: wrong fit; coach left/was fired; turns out I don't want to be this far from home; or just plain I made a decision when I was 18 and finishing High School that in hindsight wasn't what I should've made.
Why shouldn't athletes be compensated for their likeness? Other people/entities sure are.
This only applies to a few people in each school really and obviously protections would have to be built in so there wouldn't be 'Johnny Moxon here for Hometown Chevy' as a way to simply funnel money to players. I used to be squarely in the camp of the idea that a scholarship and an education where compensation enough but I've re-thought my position. Many players aren't in a position to benefit from the education. Many don't complete the education, the athletic dept. doesn't care. Many players don't really get to choose what they want to study, the program would be too hard and/or the timing isn't right to be able to compete/practice.

You are way behind on the rules.
Pac-12 athletic scholarships are guaranteed for four years.
Athletes can enter the transfer portal and now do not need releases for in- or out-of-conference transfers.
Graduates may transfer with immediate eligibility.
Waivers for immediate or a sixth-year of eligibility, etc., are given quite frequently.
And with the money (and time) spent on pre-enrollment orientation, tutoring, academic counseling, APR, progress towards degree, and the emphasis on graduation rates, etc., it is simply wrong to say college athletes don't care about an athlete's education.
College might be the most-coddled time of any athletes life.

Especially how the Universities square athlete revenue opportunities with Federal Title IX law. |
