Maybe you’ve already heard the news. It came down a couple weeks ago.that will allow college athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness through endorsement deals. The"Fair Pay to Play Act" has seen support from lawmakers in other states, who say they're also pushing or planning to propose similar legislation. Many have also expressed opposition to the bill.
GN: I would not be sitting here without baseball. I was one of those kids that every single night my mom would have to turn off the radio because I was falling asleep — uh, forgive me, Dodger fans — but listening to the San Francisco Giants broadcast. I was obsessed with baseball.Humm BabyGN: I found these old VHS tapes — and no one will know who the heck this is — but Will Clark was one of my baseball heroes.GN: I don't know. I mean, in some parts of the country.
By high school, the kid who had once sat in the back of the class with his head down, who had fallen asleep listening to Giants’ games, saw his passion and dedication to the sport begin to pay off. GN: I went to Rome of all places and I came back to a completely different person. I mean, it was decompression for me and allowed me to think about a life outside of sports.
So I know that there's sort of this romantic view of the world that, while they are treated like royalty and, you know, we pay for their scholarship, and they get all the attention and things. Yeah, but they also sacrifice an extraordinary amount. And they don't have that full experience that so many others are privileged to have at universities and college campuses across the country.
As lieutenant governor, Newsom served on the board of regents, the governing board of the University of California.
