The NCAA hired former Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker for his political savvy to guide Congress to passing national standard for paying athletes. On his first day, Baker said that working with Congress won’t be enough.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association needs to make its own rules to govern the chaotic landscape that has developed around athlete compensation,said in an interview—regardless of whether Congress establishes a national standard for paying athletes, as his predecessor long urged.
Baker, the former governor of Massachusetts, is taking over the NCAA less than two years after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the NCAA had violated antitrust law by capping education-related benefits available to athletes. The case, along with pressure from athletes and state legislatures, kicked the door open to a new era in which college athletes for the first time could cash in on their name, image and likeness.
