The NCAA's vote to let college athletes cash in on their fame came a month after California passed a law that would let college athletes make money on endorsements, autograph signings and social media advertising.

The NCAA is poised to take a significant step toward allowing college athletes to earn money without violating amateurism rules. The Board of Governors will be briefed Tuesday, Oct. 29 by administrators who have been examining whether it would be feasible to allow college athletes to profit of their names, images and likenesses.
Board chair Michael Drake, the president of Ohio State University, said the NCAA must embrace change and modernize “to provide the best possible experience for college athletes.”“The board is emphasizing that change must be consistent with the values of college sports and higher education and not turn student-athletes into employees of institutions,” Drake told The Associated Press.
Some college sports leaders fear allowing athletes to earn outside income could open the door to corruption. “This is another attempt by the NCAA at stalling on this issue,” said Ramogi Huma, executive director of the National College Players Association, an advocacy group. Huma said the association has posted model legislation on its website that it is encouraging “all states” to pass “to ensure their college athletes are afforded economic freedom and equal rights.”
