As law, the bill would create a revenue-sharing relationship between athletic departments and athletes in the revenue generating sports, thus jeopardizing money-losing Olympic sports.
A bill churning through the California legislature would make recent changes to college sports seem like amateur hour.
If SB-1401 becomes law, which seemingly could happen as soon as 2023, the requirements could place the California schools in the Pac-12 and Mountain West conferences at a significant financial disadvantage, create massive Title IX complications and threaten the long-term viability of Olympic sports, from softball to swimming to tennis.
SB-1401 passed the Judiciary Committee on Tuesday by a 9-1 vote. However, the tenor of the discussion indicated the bill could face resistance in Appropriations or on the Assembly floor.
The provisions in SB-1401 would require Cal to set aside half that total for the players, then subtract the amount spent on scholarships .Assume 85 are on scholarship, and the result would be $186,500 set aside in the fund for each player. In other words, players would receive direct compensation without being subject to rules governing employment — they couldn’t be fired .
