The NCAA warns that a California bill that would allow college athletes to be paid would be 'unconstitutional'
“Or … because of this bill, you can work with everyone to create a national policy that is fair to athletes,” James tweeted to more than 43 million followers.
The bill, which would take effect Jan. 1, 2023, would stop the NCAA from barring a university from competition if its athletes were compensated for the use of their name, image or likeness. NCAA rules prohibit the practice. “This bill would remove that essential element of fairness and equal treatment that forms the bedrock of college sport,” the letter said.Emmert sent a letter to state legislators in June that warned of dire consequences if the bill passed. The move, however, appeared to galvanize support for the legislation. Before Monday’s state Assembly vote, lawmakers assailed the NCAA for the missive they believed to be threatening California.
The NCAA wants more time for a working group formed earlier this year to examine the name, image and likeness issue. “NCAA member schools already are working on changing rules for all student-athletes to appropriately use their name, imagine and likeness in accordance with our values — but not to pay them to play,” the letter to Newsom said.
