In reply to: CA state senate passes bill that allows athletes to profit posted by jt

Not that I'm against kids being able to profit from their likeness. I'll be curious to see how many other states follow suit.
I find the following statement particularly interesting. "In addition, the Fair Pay to Play Act would bar the NCAA from preventing student athletes from earning compensation. And the legislation would prohibit the NCAA from banning California colleges and universities from intercollegiate sports if their athletes sign sponsorship deals."
Just curious if anyone here knows what kind of control state legislature has over NCAA compliance and regulation (probably a dumb question)? I admittedly know nothing about NCAA legislation, but wouldn't such policy need to be approved by the NCAA Board of Governors?
