    California is working to change that. https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/...llege-athletes

    Free labor from college athletes may soon come to an end

    California is shaking up the big business of college sports.

    Earlier this week, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill that would let college athletes make money from endorsement deals for the first time. Right now, they’re the only ones involved in the $14 billion industry who aren’t cashing in.

    The new law, which doesn’t go into effect until 2023, is meant to pressure the National Collegiate Athletic Association to change its rules before then. The NCAA is still clinging to its long-held view that college athletes should spend their time earning a degree for playing sports, not making money.

    But times have changed. In the past 20 years, college sports has ballooned into a multibillion dollar industry. While coaches are earning millions, athletes are often penniless, frustrated that they can’t monetize their YouTube channels or make money through endorsements or other ways.

    “I’m tired of seeing these college athletes get ripped off,” Draymond Green, forward for the Golden State Warriors, said during a press conference Monday.

    The NCAA has threatened to drop colleges from tournaments if they let players make money. Universities have protested the bill too. But so far, it’s been useless. At least a dozen other states are considering similar moves and a congressional bill may also come out of it. The era of free labor from college athletes may soon be over.

    Everyone in college sports is making money except the athletes
    The controversy over California’s Fair Pay to Play Act is about who controls all the profits from college sports and who truly earns it.

    Many people are getting rich from the current setup. In the past decade, coaches’ pay has skyrocketed. The highest-paid head coach in 2018 was Alabama’s Nick Saban, who raked in $8.3 million. Even the lowest-paid coaches in the SEC are making at least $1 million.

    Individual colleges make a ton of money, too. Cable networks pay each Big Ten school about $50 million a year just for broadcast rights, and universities also cut multimillion dollar sponsorship deals with Nike, Adidas, and other athletic brands. University employees working in athletics departments often make six-figure salaries.

    The few people who coordinate the leagues make even more. The head of the Big Ten Conference, Jim Delaney, made $5.5 million in 2018. The head of the NCAA, Mark Emmert, made $4 million.

    The only ones who aren’t making money are the athletes themselves. Under NCAA rules, student athletes can get scholarships and small stipends but no sponsorship or endorsement deals of any kind. California State Sen. Nancy Skinner, who wrote the Fair Pay to Play Act, calls it “exploitation.”

    “For decades, college sports has generated billions for all involved except the very people most responsible for creating the wealth. That’s wrong,” she tweeted on Monday.

    The new law doesn’t actually require schools to pay athletes directly, as if they were employees. Instead, it makes it illegal for schools to prevent an athlete from earning money by selling the rights to his or her name, image, or likeness to outside bidders.

    The law also allows college athletes to hire an agent to represent them. There are a few restrictions, such as one that prevents athletes from signing endorsement deals that conflict with their team’s sponsors. For example, a football player could not wear Under Armour gear during team events if the student’s school is sponsored by Adidas.

    This isn’t just about letting star basketball and football players cash in on their fame. It’s also about giving female athletes, who have few opportunities to make money when they go pro, a chance to earns some endorsements. It’s also about all the college athletes who don’t make it to the pros but who could still make some money while they’re in school.

    As with most legislation, those who oppose the California law are the ones who stand to lose the most. Emmert, president of the NCAA, sent a letter to California lawmakers earlier this year asking them not to pass the bill. He later called it an “existential threat” to the college sports model in an interview with CBS Sports.

    It’s not hard to imagine their concern that companies and brands will spend more money making deals with individual athletes and less money on deals with universities and cable advertising.

    After Newsom signed the bill, the PAC-12 Conference decried the move, saying the new law would lead to the “professionalization” of college sports, with “significant negative consequences.”

    That is an understatement. Losing 45-3 at Oregon. Our QB had gone 115 passes without an interception- threw one on four straight possessions- the first would have been a touchdown to bring the game to 17-10. One of the other INTs was also in the endzone. After that, things got out of control. CU had over 100 yards in penalties too. Not a very good outing at all. Only team to score in double digits vs Oregon was Auburn in their opener (Auburn won 27- 21). Cal's seven points last week was the most since then. We get Washington State at home next week- they are 0-3 in conference and 3-3 overall. Our defense is not great but our offense is much better than they showed this week.

    Big match-up tonight is LSU vs Florida- #5 vs #7 and both unbeaten.

    Their season could go so many ways right now. If they beat MSU at home and get a win out of OSU, PSU, or ND that would put them at 9-3 and put them near the top 10. On the other hand all four of the teams mentioned are very possible losses and Indiana isn't a free game either. They have a top 10 team in talent. But make errors like they are in the MAC. So they could just as easily be 7-5. Gut instinct is 9-4 (win a bad bowl game win or a loss in a good bowl game if they finish 9-3 in the regular season) and finish 18th in the final rankings.

    Amazing feat from last week I was going to post but didn't get to it. San Diego State was playing Colorado State. Three interceptions by the same player on three consecutive offensive plays. Three interceptions in a game is a lot. On three consecutive plays- unheard of.

    https://thedailyaztec.com/95954/spor...olorado-state/

    In Tuesday’s news conference, San Diego State football senior cornerback Luq Barcoo said he wanted to create more turnovers.

    “(Colorado State has) a new quarterback,” he said. “There are definitely going to be some opportunities for turnovers, so we’ve just got to take advantage.”

    Barcoo took advantage.

    He tallied three interceptions in the Aztecs’ 24-10 road win over Colorado State on Oct. 5 in Fort Collins.

    All three of Barcoo’s interceptions came in a span of three consecutive defensive snaps.

    Barcoo’s first interception occurred with 2:36 left in the third quarter.

    On the first play of the Rams’ next possession, Barcoo caught another interception off junior quarterback Patrick O’Brien.

    With 13:07 left in the fourth quarter, Barcoo hauled in his third pick – this time off Rams sophomore quarterback Justice McCoy.

    Defensive coordinator Zach Arnett said Barcoo’s collection of interceptions was rare to witness.

    “I think it’s going to be a Jeopardy! question one day,” Arnett said. “That was awesome.”

    The last time an SDSU player had three interceptions in a game was Damontae Kazee against San Diego on Sept. 5, 2015. Barcoo now has the second-most interceptions in the country with four.

    Head coach Rocky Long said he’s never seen someone record three interceptions in as many plays.

    “Never,” Long said. “I’ve been lucky enough to have been in a couple games where a guy had three interceptions for the game, but not back-to-back-to-back. That’s very unusual, I’m sure.”
