The bill still needs to be approved in the California house and signed by the Governor. Another key point is that it forbids California colleges from declaring athletes ineligible for receiving compensation. My non-lawyer opinion is that California holds no control over the NCAA.

At one point amateurs couldn't compete against professional without losing their amateur status with some exceptions (golf and tennis come to mind). Would the NCAA ban other schools from playing California schools due to professionals (in their mind) playing on those schools.

My opinion is California legislature should keep their zippers in appropriate position and let this topic come to an inevitable conclusion.
