California Gov Signs Fair Pay to Play Bill

I agree with that, as far as being paid by the school, but how about endorsements, memorabilia, etc?

I think there are 2 options for "other income".

1. The money goes into the school's student income fund to be shared by all at that school. Reason being, if you weren't playing for the school there wouldn't be any "other income". This is the .0000001% socialist in me.

2. Escrow the money and pay it out when the student/athlete graduates. Give them 6-8 years to graduate. This would allow the players that leave early time to get their degree. Most degrees can be completed online, so it really shouldn't be an issue. This would be an incentive for getting their degree if the pros didn't work out or an injury.

Like almost everything in our society nowadays, you are not going to please everyone regardless of what comes of it. It will be interesting to watch what happens over the next 3 years.
