Can the NCAA really cut California off from titles?
Mark Emmert's warning to the state of California seems like a bizarre turn in a battle where both sides have some leverage.

Listen up maggots! And that's an order!
NCAA playing one helluva game of chicken with California, a State with three very large TV markets ... and a very large pool of student athletes its non-Cali members covet
Looks like this case may be heading for the Supreme Court.

I actually believe letting college athletes profit off of their likeness and autographs would be a great start or part of a greater compromise.
In one of the most significant strikes against the National Collegiate Athletic Association's system of amateur athletics, California lawmakers have approved a bill that would allow players in the state to profit off their name, image and likeness.
The adoption of the bill is likely to set up a battle between California lawmakers and the NCAA as the legislation heads to the desk of Governor Gavin Newsome.
The association fiercely opposed the measure. NCAA President Mark Emmert went so far this summer as to insinuate that California institutions would be excluded from championship games if the bill was approved.

California passes bill allowing athletes to be paid for name, image and likeness
State's politicians approve legislation to allow athletes to be compensated for use of their name, image and likeness for marketing purposes. The NCAA fiercely opposes the measure.

All the California schools have to do is band together and create their own collegiate sports association. Thus giving them the biggest recruiting advantage in the country. Under that circumstance, why would any top high school athlete leave the state to go to school? It wouldn’t matter if you’re at UCLA, USC, Stanford, or even San Diego State, Fresno State, Santa Clara, Cal-State Fullerton or Long Beach State. You’d still have the opportunity to profit from your own image and likeness without risk of losing your scholarship. And don’t think the other top athletes in the country aren’t going to want to leave home and play in Cali as well. The only way to get the NCAA to change is to force their hand.

It's going to be very interesting come signing day. The NCAA Organized Crime Association will try to put pressure on Cali.

Ironically a lot of the NCAA rules stemmed from the impact of organized crime on college sports

If people/organizations are making money off their likenesses/names why shouldn't the athlete whose likeness/name is being used not profit? The athletic programs themselves are not paying so that argument is out of the window.

Only ones I see mad about it are the white boys on the sec message board lol
They think they can control everything

It's a wrap now. NCAA will not be able to put that cat back in the bag. Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, South Carolina and i'm sure many others have either already filed bills to do the same or are about to. States will have no choice but to do the same if they want the top athletes. Way too expensive to live there but one thing about California is they dont give a DAMN when it comes to being progressive.

Remember it is state colleges.....this will have a resounding effect on state's budgets. Especially cash strapped states.
Watch what happens when schools start negotiating athletic apparel contracts.
Also, start naming buildings after companies for a yearly check to pay the college student athletes.
Unifroms would start looking like WNBA uniforms with all the advertisements.
Under the Fair Play Act the schools don’t have to pay the athletes a dime. The athletes would only get endorsement money. For example if that sporting goods shop in downtown Grambling wanted Hickbottom to endorse their business they would be able to pay him to do so.
