Sports and economics: A blog about how the two intersect. With thoughts from experts and professors from across 🇺🇸.

Instagram post 2166176670377345169_8622411730 Governor Gavin Newsom's #FairPaytoPlay Act is a positive step forward to level the playing field for the student athletes who compete under the #NCAA. 
Unfortunately it comes too late as the NCAA now must compete with professional leagues overseas. For instance, high profile basketball prospects like Brandon Jennings, #EmmanuelMudiay, and most recently #LameloBall are opting to play professionally overseas rather than under the NCAA. 
Ball's first game was the most-watched game in Australia's #NBL league history and you can bet he'll benefit from endorsements before he completes his first season. 
The potential consequences in lost revenue for universities is substantial as more of the top prospects are already playing elsewhere. How will the NCAA continue to earn more than one billion dollars in revenue each year when the most exciting athletes already have other options. 
How will this affect each school's athletic programs when each university will need to make difficult budget cuts? If other states can find a way to pass something similar to the Fair Pay to Play Act there is still a chance for the NCAA to attract the top talent and keep a level playing field for all student athletes who compete under the NCAA.

It was a wonderful gesture by the Dolphins’ players, cheerleaders and T.D., who were present at the occasion. They were all smiles as they met with children who fight cancer every day with an unmatched bravery on par with suiting up for an NFL game on Monday night." - Aspiring Gentleman  #childcancerawareness #communityservice
