Over the years there has been the constant argument whether or not college athletes should be paid or earn subsidies from sells of tickets or their last name on the back of jerseys. These college athletes have been restricted from any of the money profited by these universities considering these are kids going to school with athletic scholarships and could hardly afford anything. A recent article shares, "There is potentially a whole lot of money for college athletes who become household names, and subsequently brand names. California’s assembly recently amended and passed Senate Bill 206, also known as the Fair Pay to Play Act. Under it, 24,000 college athletes from 54 schools would no longer be barred from earning money from the use of their names, images, or likeness. The Senate is set to pass the amended version in the coming days, and then to Gov. Gavin Newsom to become law." The NCAA's position on the potential legislation worries the organization because it'd result in California would be the first state to allow college athletes to get paid for the use of their name and image. The bill has been sent to the Governor's desk to be signed. Twitter polls and media has indicated many people are in favor of this and believe its overdue.
