that's fine, like i said.Well this is ultimately the biggest point. California is just trying to pressure the NCAA to pass this rule for all student athletes that they already have in place for athletes in the Olympic sports.
It’s ultimately a question of “rights” and “freedoms” of adult men and women in this country. Should every person have the right to profit off his or her name? Or should we allow that to be stifled because we like watching college football on Saturdays?
i just don't think the NCAA is being backed in to a corner because of this. i wonder how the Pac 12 in general feels about this? i feel pretty confident in saying that the other p5 conferences aren't doing anything until they absolutely have to.
i could see a couple states down south following suit just to make a point and to attempt to apply some pressure.
but nobody is going to sign up to secede from the NCAA w/out having the ability to actually play the games that make all these schools money in the first place....at that point, they really don't care if the kid can get a few bucks for the jersey/autograph sale.....
nobody is going to turn over millions of dollars in a TV deal to watch INTRA state college athletics.................
