This will only work if players have representation and that means agents. College sports have changed forever. I think the NCAA should have stood their ground and told Cali that their institutions that follow their state laws will be prohibited from post season Bowl games.

Does this not mean that any athlete that gets paid in any college sport is now barred from participating in an Olympic endeavor ?

I am waiting to see how this story sort itself out ....

but if it ends up where there are no limits or restrictions after attending many hundreds of college games since the 1960's my days of attending and watching any college sport will be very limited...

i had already stopped watching any professional sports since the 1990's.

Not sure what you mean exactly. Pros already participate in the Olympics.

Is there anything from California that makes sense or that the rest of the country should copy ?

Oh; I had this antiquated notion that it was still somewhat prohibited. I realize we've had Dream Teams play hoops and hockey for sometime...
Nevermind

Patience my friends. Patience. This will be a 3-4 year roller coaster of attorneys and press releases trying to push certain agendas.
We’ll know in 2023

Most track and field athletes are also professionals that get paid for winning races, shoes contracts, etc. Not sure when these rules changed but its been like that for a while.

Amateur status in the Olympics has been dead for over 25 years.
