Death Blow

What about white athletes? Newsome is a moron. Shouldn't be shocked, he's destroyed that once beautiful state.

Think NIL blew up college sports? California is going for the knockout with new bill

Another potentially game-changing bill for college sports is on the move through the California legislature. Here's how it could upend the collegiate model.

USC is going to pull an Amazon. “Sorry no profits this year, reinvesting money into the programs”
It will never pass.

The article says revenue. Which raises a few key questions for me:
1) revenue, really? Surely not as that would mean even the football programs aren't financially viable.
2) doesn't this violate Title IX?
3) the bill name implies race, but I don't see anything in the bill related to race, wtf?

1.) It is based off of revenue which is even dumber than doing it off of profits. If this passes, I’m sure the big boys like USC will make it work but losing half of your revenue every year would probably shutter most FB, MBB, and WBB in the state. It assumes the tuition and board is all that’s being ponied up for the student athlete vs how much goes into running a CFB program. They want SA to share in the revenue but not to share in the costs of actually running the program. Talk about killing the golden goose.
2.) it says they had title IX protections in the bill that have been stripped out.
3.) I think the idea is that these are the three sports that are predominantly AA and students don’t graduate at a high level, so instead of a degree, they get cashish too.

It isn’t even out of committee, no way this passes, even in California. Really dumb idea, and would ensure most colleges would stop these three sports.
 
Anything that might possibly move college football and basketball towards a professional model with a draft system sounds good to me. Need to end the facade that these money-making sports is amateur at all. The only way for schools like GT to compete is to level the playing field among all power conference teams and implement a draft coming out of high school. Pay to play already exists obviously for those schools that can afford it.
 
I kinda like this part:

"Schools would establish a degree completion fund for each athlete, and the contents of the fund — fed annually — would be made available soon after degree completion (within six years). If the athlete does not graduate within six years, he or she will forfeit the fund and it will go back into the athletic budget."
 
Also, I forget where I saw it but I thought that GT had just announced a plan to pay athletes for their athletic performance on behalf of the school. Anyone else see that? I thought I saw it on FB this morning?

Doesn't tie into their athletic achievements
 
This is a good thing, no good male athletes will want to go and play in California anymore. More recruiting room for us.
