Mike Leach Says California Should Focus on Keeping Streets Clean, Not NCAA Bill

Washington State head football coach Mike Leach shared his thoughts Monday regarding California Senate Bill 206.

Matt Calkins of the Seattle Times passed along Leach's comments about the bill that would allow college athletes to make money from endorsements and sponsorships using their image:

"The state of California has trouble keeping their streets clean right now, so my thought is that they probably ought to focus on that. That's just one guy’s opinion and I'm sure that I'm probably wrong, but at the rate that California is handling their infrastructure and some of their other problems, you know, I think we'll see how they do with that before I really think would be that beneficial for the legislature of California to enter into college football.
