You want chaos…In California

“College Athlete Race and Gender Equity Act,” was written by Sen. Steven Bradford and sponsored by the National College Players Association. On Thursday, it’s up for yet another vote in its journey through state bureaucracy.

  • The bill says each athlete would receive an equal share of 50% of a sport’s revenue, minus the amount they already receive in aid packages.
  • The money would go in a degree completion fund, where athletes would have access to up to $25,000 a year.
  • Athletes would receive the rest as long as they finish their degree within six years of enrolling.
Here is play for pay folks.

The bill specifically says, however, that the payments would not mean athletes would be classified as employees…..yeah sure

Yep and that's probably why Saban walked back his comments

A "degree completion fund" . . . isn't that basically what they're already getting with their scholarships?
and 50% of the sports revenues, is that before or after expenses? And . . . so forget water polo or golf . . . .

Scholarships are not guaranteed for any length of time. They are 1 year renewable. As to revenue I did not read the bill so not sure on the expense issue.

The larger issue to me regarding revenue is the current disparity. If I’m a recruit in California, USC had about $50m in revenue for football, UCLA $41m I don’t have the number but let’s assume Cal is lower due to market size and other factors. Bottom line I’ll make more at USC

And what if I’m an out of state student. My expenses would be significantly more at least year 1. A horrible bill on multiple levels
