California bill to allow student athletes to profit from their images has got NCAA threatening that Cali schools would be banned from champships. No surprise there from NCAA, hypocrites. Cali sponsors say intent is to force NCAA to update and bill isn't effective till 2023. Good that their status quo comfy zone is getting challenged. Hope the bill passes and that Texas follows suit.

NCAA president Mark Emmert suggested that if a California bill allowing in-state college athletes to be compensated passes, schools could potentially be barred from competing in NCAA championships, a letter sent to the chair of two State Assembly committees last week said.
A bill asserting that athletes at California schools could earn compensation for use of their own name, image or likeness, beginning in 2023, easily passed in the state Senate last month, 31–4.
NCAA be all, no WE own their likeness!
