SLATE: California SB-206 is signed into law, and that means something

There’s not much out there today that we’d normally put in the Slate, so it’s a perfect day to drift afield. That’s probably a good thing, as the big news this morning doesn’t directly affect Kansas State... yet.

But it’s going to eventually, and it’s going to impact the entire college sports structure.

This morning, California governor Gavin Newsome signed SB-206, the student athlete compensation and representation bill. There is a lot of bad information already circulating, including journalists claiming this means California schools are required to compensate athletes for use of their name, likeness, and image (NLI).
