 The bill that's rocked college sports. Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 206, more commonly known as the fair pay to play act. The reason colleges make millions of dollars off of athletes every year. The catch, the athletes often don't receive a penny. I can make all the money off your likeness. And the moment you decide to make some money off your likeness, you can't play here anymore. You're ineligible, you're suspended. That's about to change for some players. California athletes will be able to profit off their name, image and likeness starting in January 2023. I think it's a really cool opportunity for a lot of students in 2023. And they're just going to have opportunity to use their image and likeness to get sponsorships. But not everyone is seeing the good in the trailblazing bill. The NCAA Board of Governors sent a warning letter urging the state to reconsider this decision. They called the bill harmful and unconstitutional. However, Governor Newsom was not fazed by this. The gigs up, billions and billions of dollars, 14 plus billion dollars goes to these universities, goes to these colleges, billion plus revenue to the NCAA themselves. And the actual product, the folks that are putting their lives on the line, putting everything on the line, are getting nothing. And it's not just California. Florida is also planning similar legislation and states like New York and South Carolina have already proposed bills that are even more vigorous than this one. You know, when you start talking the state of California and how much weight this state holds for this state to be the first to do that, you know, it's very special. And, you know, as a former college athlete, that's exciting. The momentum that started here in California is now building to change the business and college sports. There's still three years until the Fair Pay to Play Act goes into effect. So the NCAA has time to act, but for now the ball is in their court. We'll just have to wait to see what their next move is.
