LeBron James Calls for Support of California Student Athlete Compensation Bill

LeBron James tweeted his support for SB-206, California's "Fair Pay to Play" Act on Thursday. The bill would allow student athletes to earn compensation in connection to the use of their "name, image or likeness," according to the National Law Review.

"Everyone is California- call your politicians and tell them to support SB 206!" James tweeted on Thursday. "This law is a GAME CHANGER. College athletes can responsibly get paid for what they do and the billions they create."

The Fair Pay to Play act would impact private California colleges and University of California system schools that average at least $10,000,000 per year in annual media rights revenue.
