California Gives NCAA The Middle Finger

A right winger for socialist policies? How interesting..

I stated before that I’m not a Republican or a Democrat. I’m somewhere in the middle with a lot of leeway one way or another. I’m a staunch supporter of The Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. I’m Pro-life but can see where there can be some exceptions there as well. I’m an Independent always on the lookout for a viable candidate that will be for the people and not just a mouthpiece for a particular political agenda. So yeah, you have seen from me a few of my thoughts that leaned a little to the right and some that leaned a little to the left. So you can clearly see my opinions are more from the center.

Just watch "The Scheme" and it will really open your eyes on this topic.

The NCAA is not the law.

I can't help but feel this is going to backfire immensely.

I'm all for players being able to control their own likenesses and even profit from them, but I'm afraid this method is going to further widen the gulf between blueblood programs and your average college program. Imagine a player deciding between Washington State and Oregon. The latter has a pre-built relationship with Nike, which could be more lucrative.

This is great in theory, but I really can't see it being very equal in practice. Football and men's basketball are the cash cows, and their players are absolutely going to receive much more attention in most places than the wrestlers, women's basketball players, field hockey players, and so on.
