Proposed California bill could create new pressure in NCAA name, image and likeness debate
December 07, 2020
The California state legislator who wrote what became the first state law designed to allow college athletes to make money from their name, image and likeness introduced a bill Monday that would expand the law’s impact and could hasten potential conflicts between state statutes and NCAA rules. Sen. Nancy Skinner’s new bill could create additional differences, and it would make the law effective as soon as Aug. 1, 2021. Skinner was joined in sponsoring the bill by state Sen. Steven Bradford.
