| Greetings, TicToc readers! Shake off the Mondays with your top-of-the-week debrief:  A renaissance for college sports? Defying the NCAA, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed on Monday the Fair Pay to Play Act, a first-in-the-nation law that will let college athletes hire agents and make money from endorsements. "Colleges reap billions from student-athletes but block them from earning a single dollar. That's a bankrupt model," Newsom tweeted. The NCAA fiercely opposed the bill, saying it "would erase the distinction between college and professional athletes." Moving forward: - Expect legal challenges from the NCAA. Lawyers will likely argue the bill is unconstitutional and regulation is up to the federal government, not individual states.
- Other states may follow suit. Officials in South Carolina, Florida and New York are considering similar bills, which could put even more pressure on the NCAA to reform.
- It'll matter sooner than you think. The law doesn't take effect until Jan. 2023, but football players accepted to a California school next fall would benefit from this new money in their senior seasons, which could entice recruits.
