College Football

So is every blue Chip going to want to play in California now?

It's a possibility yes, I would imagine the member institutions would want to quickly get together and ban California Universities from the post season etc. That's the usual hedge.

If the Federal Law passes or if similar other laws are passed in other states, the system for College Football and Basketball and every other sport becomes a lot more fair.

If someone wants to pay you for being you... good on em.

If I'm a 4 star high school recruit I don't care about that. Show me the money.

I hope this begins the destruction of state universities in the U.S.

some important information I left out. Obviously Congress has the power to regulate interstate commerce, so it could be struck down on that statute.

Also it doesn't become effective until 2023, so yeah. Essentially this is more or less a request for Congress to get off their butts and end NCAA amateurism.

Just take away their tax exempt status if they refuse NIL rights.

There is no way in hell that Alabama and all the other blue bloods are going to let USC get away with that. They'll tell the NCAA to go pound sand before that happens.

It could indeed be superseded by federal law, and I'm sure the NCAA is going to try to lobby for that, but given how split Congress is right now, and dealing with the Trump circus, I would not be surprised at all if this is a low priority for them. And I don't see how SCOTUS would have jurisdiction to strike down California's law given how it only has the power to grant those privileges within its own borders.

Alabama won't be able to do shit unless their kid fucker legislators pass something similar, which they might do considering football is part of the holy Trinity there along with diabetes and meth.

Is there any state law in Alabama that forbids the Tide from doing that? I doubt it, since schools have just colluded the NCAA to do it, and if I'm right, then I don't see what would legally stop them from unilaterally allowing their players from NIL deals.

Sure, at it's heart the bill really has nothing to do with interstate commerce. It's not even really about amateurism, it's simply about Name Image and Likeness being ones own and not granted to an institution simply because you play ball there on scholarship.

Being able to trade on NIL is fair across the board, the amounts won't be obviously, but there's already vast inequities in college sports. They just pretend not to notice.

Shouldn't you be fixing a tournament you are running so one of your buddies can win?

[run2death]

He's clearly B- or C+.

I went with C.

[Monkey_Driven]

Cs get (meaningless) degrees.
