The newly passed California Fair Pay to Play Act will allow student athletes to receive compensation
The legislation bypasses an National Collegiate Athletic Association’s ban on players receiving any compensation aside from scholarships. Current NCAA regulations disallow student athletes from executing any endorsement deals or accepting payment for the use of their images. The new California law, which is scheduled to go into effect in 2023, would now allow them to reap the financial rewards for their athletic abilities.
There are former college athletes, such as Tim Tebow, who believe that college should be about following your dreams and contributing to an institution, as opposed to a means of making some money. We have sat on the sidelines watching college football, basketball and other sports—ignoring what’s really happening. Top universities earn fortunes from the work of unpaid kids. The monies generated are a significant part of many college’s revenues. The student athletes do all the hard work, damaging their bodies, risking concussions, losing out on study time and the schools reap billions of dollars off of them.
There are some concerns about this new law. Mark Emmert, the NCAA president, claims that by paying football and basketball players, it would increase their visibility and draw the attention away from less-attended sports. Some say that if California moves forward with this law, the best and most talented athletes would only accept admittance into California-state schools. This would create a huge imbalance in talent.
