If passed this would immediately give all California schools a big recruiting advantage. Other states would need to follow suit. It would also set an interesting precedent if California unanimously resolved this issue that's been discussed for years. Like emissions regulations before and the GDPR like law coming in 2020... one could argue California is setting much the legislative agenda for the country.

- TheAdamist 7y agoit's only a big recruiting advantage until the NCAA boots out any participating CA schools. or makes participating players ineligible to play in any other state. expect it to be a nasty fight.
- codeddesign 7y agoThat would be highly unlikely due to the population of CA and hence it’s overall pull within the NCAA. Not to mention that wouldn’t it be considered discriminative if there is a law allowing something but then the NCAA says “”we don’t like that law”? Wouldn’t this be the same as a private university saying “you aren’t admitted because you are gay”?
- lonelappde 7y agoIf NCAA exits CA because CA bans the NCAA's behavior, where is the discrimination?
- travmatt 7y agoIs that really a smart fight for the NCAA to pick? California has some big name sports programs, and the NCAA is an organization whose legality is not really firmly established. If the California AG decides to open a case investigating whether the NCAA is an illegal cartel existing to exploit the labor of their ‘amateur’ athletes, I can’t imagine it would go particularly well for them.
