Political entities, especially state governments should not control or try to control what are essentially private organizations. The schools that are in the NCAA are there voluntarily. They either subscribe to the rules or they don’t. Members either subscribe to the rules or they can choose not to participate.
Any athlete that does not want to subscribe to the rules of the schools they attend and the NCAA, of which they belong, don’t have to go to that school or participate in the NCAA activities.
Should the rules be looked at and somewhat updated, sure but wholesale abandonment of those rules would result in chaos on a scale so massive as to destroy sports in this country. Maybe that is the intent here not the plight of some student athletes who feel cheated. In the case of players that have the ability to attract sponsorship should, if they accept it, then be require to pay fees to the NCAA and member schools for their appearing in and enjoying the benefits of that exposure. National exposure is worth millions. If some athletes want to be paid then maybe they need to pay back what they owe the NCAA and the member schools.
The dirty little non-secret is that NCAA and member schools turn a blind the true inability of certain student athletes to do college level academic work and fail to ensure that these same student athletes are progressing toward a college degree. Not surprisingly it is the sports that these same athletes play (football and basketball) that generate 95% of the revenue that the NCAA, Conferences and member school receive. The NCAA receives revenue from not only these players’ performances in games but also from apparel and video game manufacturers who use the names and likenesses of these athletes. The fact is that these are not student athletes but rather uncompensated professional athletes. Just like professional athletes, these athletes’ participation in their sports produce substantial revenues (billions of dollars) but unlike professional athletes they are not compensated in proportion to their ability to generate revenue. The jig is up and the NCAA is scrambling to keep the golden goose laying eggs for free. But just like professional athletes who were for decades denied unrestricted free agency. The NCAA, Conferences and member school are going to have to soon begin to share the wealth. As it should be.
How dare California do this, this will take money away from the NCAA and all the high paid executives. All that money the NCAA makes off the backs of these college students is sickening.
