Pressured by states considering legislation similar to California’s new law, NCAA President Mark Emmert met with Chris Murphy and Mitt Romney.
Anaheim has released a study that shows what Angels owner Arte Moreno and his partners might do with the Angel Stadium property after they buy it.Huma, a Southern California native and former UCLA football player, said he has been meeting with Congressional representatives too. He also said it’s probably much easier for Emmert and NCAA lobbyists to be seen and heard in D.C. than folks like him.
In March, U.S. Rep. Mark Walker introduced the Student-Athlete Equity Act, which is legislation that would amend the definition of a qualified amateur sports organization in the tax code to remove the restriction on college athletes using or being compensated for the use of their NIL, which would force the NCAA to change its current model.
“I believe it has bipartisan support,” Walker said. “Whether looking at this as a civil rights issue or a Republican free-market issue, they’re both the same. It’s a win-win. We’re not asking the NCAA or the university in our bills to pay a single dollar. We’re just saying, as for every other student, if you have a music scholarship, you can go play a gig and get paid for it.
“Under [California’s] model,” Emmert said, “you’d have agents representing a youngster who is working a school to see what kind of sponsorship deal they can line up through their boosters. As athletic directors and boosters and student-athletes look at that, they say that seems utterly unworkable and unmanageable.

In a new report by USA Today, Kenny Jacoby details what he calls the “predator pipeline,” a system within the NCAA that allows players accused of or, in some cases, convicted of sexual assault to transfer schools and play on other teams—even if they have been expelled from their university.
