California Lawmakers Vote to Undo N.C.A.A. Amateurism
#1
A bill passed by the State Assembly would allow college athletes to make endorsement deals. It is expected to reach the desk of Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The bill, if passed won't go into effect for 3 years giving opponents more than enough time to iron out kinks, but the alleged big story is the fear of gambling in sports, but if that's such an issue in college it should be the very same issue in pro sports.
Heck, let them make some bucks. There's no legitimate reason college athletes should live lives of paupers.. The overwhelming majority of athletes never make it to the pros anyway. Every season we see plenty of big name college players wash out in training camps..
