Signed into law by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Fair Pay to
Play Act will allow college athletes in that state to accept
payment for the use of their name, image, and likeness. In
response, the NCAA has threatened to bar colleges from postseason
tournaments if they allow players to profit under the new law's
provisions, and several athletic conferences have also voiced
opposition. Still, a number of states are already considering
legislation similar to that enacted in California.
Jones Day's Marc Weinroth, Ilene Tannen, and Brett Shumate discuss the probable
implications of the Fair Pay to Play Act.
