The short answer is: maybe? Kansas basketball is still in hot water with the NCAA, but the circumstances have changed some. Let’s start by looking at what started this entire “student-athletes being paid” notion and see how it affects Kansas.
It all started in California earlier this year when the state passed a law that allowed student-athletes to profit from their names and likeness. The law is set to go into effect in 2023. The move essentially forced the NCAA to do something, or else. After California stood up the mighty NCAA, legislators in other states began voicing their support for a similar bill in their respective states.
