Breaking: California will allow college athletes to profit from endorsements, despite warnings from the NCAA that the measure will upend amateur sports
latimes.com/california/sto…
The bill would prohibit the NCAA from barring a university from competition if its athletes are compensated for the use of their name, image or likeness beginning in 2023. latimes.com/california/sto…
Before today's bill, the NCAA pushed back on allowing college athletes to be paid for the use of their name, image and likeness, calling it “unconstitutional” and “harmful.” lat.ms/2oCYiL2
NBA star LeBron James lauded the California effort to give college athletes a share of the windfall they help create for their universities and NCAA.

“This is a game changer for student athletes and for equity in sports,” said James.

Here's a quick snapshot of the provisions of the landmark bill that will allow college athletes make money: latimes.com/california/sto…
The relevant portion of SB 206 is about 700 words -- and it does not threaten the future of college sports, @BradyMcCollough writes.

#BREAKING: California professor, writer of confidential Brett #Kavanaugh letter, speaks out about allegation of traumatic sexual assault. “I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” she describes how he forced himself on her, pinned her, shut her mouth washingtonpost.com/investigations…
Anita Hill's sexual harassment by Clarence Thomas was ignored. Now we're at a new low. Republicans want to rush through a SCOTUS nominee credibly accused of attempted rape…to gut a woman's right to abortion. We are not free if we can't make decisions about our bodies. #Kavanaugh
I'd like to say, couldn't the Republicans find someone better than Brett Kavanaugh for SCOTUS?? Then again, look who they nominated for POTUS. If Collins & Murkowski vote to confirm a credibly accused rapist, GOP moral decay is irreversible. And unforgivable in November & beyond.
