In one regard, they don't sign a NLI, or GIA document which says "x university can market you and your image out for nothing"…
Then again, how many other states will adopt a similar policy, either because they agree or to compete…
California is famous for being on the cusp of "crazy progressive" policies, although this one appears to have more teeth than most of the others.
On a side note, i primarily posted this to show that the NCAA is toothless in stopping this type of thing…

I agree with Walty, and also with others about the aspect of pay…the key question to answer is how do you balance it?

How is letting each player be their own business "crazy progressive?" It's all "I am a capitalist" until young athletes start saying "I want to make myself money."
Seems like more states need "crazy proggrsive" polices so they do not depend on the feds to carry them.

Rick didn't say this policy is crazy progressive. He said california is known for crazy progressive policies. As of today, many states are looking into this. Mark my words, some big shot attorney grad from the big boy schools will figure out a way to "legally" pay a kid to attend their school. It is done secretly today. Once this policy is implemented there will be bidding wars for the star players. Kiss parity good by.Posted On: Oct 1st 2019, 3:30 PM #389347
Yeah, its not that we are against capitalism, its that anyone that knows anything can obviously see that the haves will use this to separate themselves from the have nots (us) even more than it is today. Head coaches will basically become hustlers and pimps and won't have to hide their current connections to their bagmen anymore.

Think about the salaries that coaches are making today, largely due from donors who have their own companies or play a big role in companies. What is stopping an alum from ex. Texas A&M from saying he wants an incoming 5* freshman in an add and will pay him a huge sum of money to attend the school. University of Florida may see this and offer 150k for that student to be in an add as well. This is great for the player but where does that put FAU? Are we going to call Schmidt family to make these kind of offers as well? That money could be going to scholarships and helping other people who need the money so they can get a good education too.
Again I want players to make money but I think there should be two leagues similar to the AHL and college hockey where it is black and white instead of a bidding war what this will eventually turn into.

This is not going to separate the haves from the have nots, that happened a long time ago. The players that someone would be willing to spend 1000's of dollars on are not coming to FAU. Let Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, etc have their bidding war. We will get the same 3* recruits we always get.Posted On: Oct 1st 2019, 5:52 PM #389350
I hear you and agree to some point, but we've snagged a few 3 stars that some of the P5 wanted.
You dont think that one fan contacting a certain recruit on the border of picking us vs a p5 school and offering 1k-5k for an autographed football isnt going to influence them to go ride the pine for a p5 or start for us.
Unfortunately it will become this petty. Theres some ridiculously pathetic people with money to blow that are obsessed with college sports at some these p5 programs.
